On his deathbed Daniel O'Connell, the man known as "the Liberator" of Ireland, made a request: "My body to Ireland, my heart to Rome and my soul to heaven."

- Rory Carroll

On Wednesday, Ireland marked the 250th anniversary of his birth with a nagging question: where is the heart?

After his death in 1847, O'Connell's heart was sent to Rome and kept in the Irish College at St Agata dei Goti, or the church of the Goths, but in 1927 authorities discovered it was gone. It is still missing, and the commemorations this week prompted calls for a renewed search to find it.
