The obelisk of the Prince of the Saltee Islands, on Great Saltee off the coast of Co. Wexford, Ireland. In December 1943 the Saltees were purchased by Michael Neale, who styled himself Prince Michael the First, and entered into a protracted dispute with the Irish authorities over his right to govern and taxes. After his death in January 1998 the islands are were passed on to his five sons Michael - now the prince, John Manfred, Paul, Richard, and his daughter Anne. The island is open to free daily visits for anyone who wants to visit and experience its incredible wildlife. Wording on the obelisk: Nothing is impossible to the man who can, will, then do. This is the only law of success. This monument was erected by Prince Michael the First as a symbol to all children that by hard work, perseverance, their dreams and ambitions may also be realised. Back: No man is free who does not set freedom above all else. Left: No state can be justified in encroachment on the God given rights of these Saltee Islands. Right: Let my successors guard and protect these Saltee Islands as a father would his children.
