\"\"Four limestone statues which were stolen from Charleville in Co Cork in 2011 have been recovered by garda\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Two are statues of eagles mounted which had been mounted on 10ft high pillars and the others are life size busts of William of Orange and Oliver Cromwell.<\/p>\n

They were stolen from Milltown Castle in July 2011.<\/p>\n

Last week, a member of the public found all four statues near a derelict outhouse on lands near Cratloe, Co Clare.<\/p>\n

Garda\u00ed remembered the original theft and connected the discovery of the property with the theft.<\/p>\n

The property was recovered by garda\u00ed on February 8.<\/p>\n

Gardai say the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
