The emigrant sculptures are in memory of the native Irish who were forced into emigration during the 1840's  Irish famine years. The departure point with their few possessions was the nearby Dublin Docks, from where the steam boats to Liverpool departed. From there, many travelled on to New York to seek a new beginning in the United States.
