George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin on 26th July 1856. He was the son of George Carr Shaw and Lucinda Elizabeth Shaw (nee Gurly). His formal education finished early and he started work at the age of fifteen. Shaw’s ties with Carlow are particulary noteworthy. His uncle Dr. John Walter Gurly who died in 1899 bequeathed all his properties in the Carlow area to Shaw’s mother and thereafter to his six step sisters should they remain unmarried. However, they all did marry and so Shaw became the owner. One of the properties was the Assembly Rooms donated to the Technical Instruction Committee in 1919. In 1944, Shaw made a bequest of his entire Carlow properties to Carlow Urban Council. This became the basis of the Civic Improvement Fund. Many portraits of Shaw exist but this bust of Shaw is by the Sculptor, Sava Botzaris (1894-1965). He was born in the former Yugoslavia. The bust is housed in Carlow County Library, in Tullow Street, Carlow.
