Gray was active both in municipal and national government for much of his life , and had nationalist ideals - which he expressed as owner of the Freeman 's Journal , chairman of the Dublin Corporation Water Works Committee between 1863 and 1875 , and Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for Kilkenny city from 1865 until his death . He was a supporter of Daniel O'Connell , and later of Charles Stewart Parnell , and advocated a repeal of the Act of Union . Through his offices with Dublin Corporation , the Vartry Reservoir water supply works were completed , introducing a freshwater supply to Dublin city and suburbs . He died at Bath in England on 9 April 1875 . Shortly after his death , his contributions to the provision of the water supply , and the beneficial impact this had to conditions of public health in Dublin , were recognised in a memorial statue on O' Connell Street . Early life John Gray was born in Claremorris , County Mayo ; the third son of John and Elizabeth Gray of Mount Street . He was educated at Trinity College Dublin , and obtained the degree of M.D and Master in Surgery at Glasgow University in 1839 . Shortly before his marriage in the same year , he settled in Dublin and took up a post at a hospital in North Cumberland Street . He was admitted as a licentiate of the College of Physicians in due course . Gray was publicly minded , and contributed to periodicals and the newspaper press . In 1841 he became joint proprietor of the Freeman 's Journal - a nationalist paper which was then published daily and weekly . He acted as political editor of the Journal for a time , before becoming sole proprietor in 1850 . As owner , Gray increased the newspaper 's size , reduced its price and extended its circulation . Politics Gray entered politics at a relatively young age , and attached himself to O'Connell 's Repeal Association . As a Protestant Nationalist , he supported the movement for the repeal of the Acts of Union with Britain . In October 1843 , Gray was indicted with O'Connell and others in the Court of the Queen 's Bench in Dublin on a charge of sedition and " conspiracy against the queen " . In the following February , Gray , together with O' Connell , was condemned to nine months imprisonment , but early in September 1844 the sentence was remitted on appeal . The trial had a strong element of farce , as the hot-tempered Attorney General for Ireland , Sir Thomas Cusack-Smith , challenged Gray 's counsel , Gerald Fitzgibbon to a duel , for which he was sternly reprimanded by the judges . From then on Gray was careful to distance himself from the advocacy of violence in the national cause , though he was sympathetic to the Young Ireland movement without being involved in its 1848 rebellion . Through the growing influence of the Freeman 's Journal ( of which he was the sole proprietor from 1850 ) , he became a significant figure in Dublin municipal politics . He was also active in national politics during an otherwise quiet period of Irish politics up until 1860 . With the resurgence of nationalism after the famine he helped to organise the Tenant 's League founding conference in 1850 , standing unsuccessfully as the League 's candidate for Monaghan in the 1852 election . Later Gray was to originate and organise the " courts of arbitration " which O'Connell endeavoured to substitute for the existing legal tribunals of the country . Following O'Connell 's death , Dr . Gray ( in 1862 ) inaugurated an appeal for subscriptions to build a monument to O' Connell on Sackville Street ( now O' Connell Street ) . Independent from O'Connell , Gray continued to take a prominent part in Irish politics and in local affairs . In municipal politics , Gray was elected councillor in 1852 and alderman of Dublin Corporation , and took an interest in the improvement of the city . As chairman of the committee for a new water supply to Dublin , Dr . Gray actively promoted what would become the " Vartry scheme " . The Vartry Reservoir scheme involved the partial redirection and damming of the Vartry river in County Wicklow , the building of a series of water piping and filtering systems ( and related public works ) to carry fresh water to the city . This work was particularly important in the improvement of conditions in the city , and to public health , as it improved sanitation and helped reduce outbreaks of cholera , typhus and other diseases associated with contaminated water . On the opening of the works on 30 June 1863 , Gray was Knighted by the Earl of Carlisle , then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . Partially in recognition of these efforts , Gray would later be nominated for the position of Lord Mayor of Dublin for the years 1868-69 , but he declined to serve . Political reformer In national politics , the Liberal government at the time was keen to conciliate an influential representative of the moderate nationalists to support British Liberalism and who would resume O'Connell 's constitutional agitation . In an unusual alliance with the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin , Paul Cullen ( 1803-1878 ) , a man devoted to O'Connell 's memory , Gray 's newspaper exploited this shift in government policy . It supported the archbishop 's creation , the National Association of Ireland , established in 1864 with the intention of providing a moderate alternative to the revolutionary nationalism of the Fenians . The Freeman 's Journal adopted the aims of the Association as its own : it advocated the disestablishment of the Anglican Church of Ireland , reform of the land laws , educational aspirations of Irish Catholicism and free denominal education . In the 1865 general election , Gray was elected MP for Kilkenny city as a Liberal candidate . In this capacity he campaigned successfully at Westminster and in Ireland for the reforms also advocated in his paper ; his newspaper 's inquiry into the anomalous wealth of the established church amidst a predominately Catholic population contributed considerably to Gladstone 's Irish Church Act 1869 . Gray helped to furnish the proof that Irish demands were not to be satisfied by anything other than by radical legislation . He fought for the provision in the new Landlord & Tenant ( Ireland ) Act 1870 for fixity of tenure , which Gladstone eventually conceded . The Act 's other weaknesses however resulted in its failure to resolve the " land question " , the accompanying coercion , the disappointment with Gladstone 's handling of the university question and national education , caused Gray to deflect from the Liberals and become mistrusted in Britain . In the general election of 1874 he was re-elected on this occasion as a Home Rule League MP for Kilkenny , joining its Home Rule majority in the House of Commons , and held his seat until his death the following year . Death and legacy Gray 's tombstone in Glasnevin Cemetery Sir John Gray died at Bath , in England , on 9 April 1875 . His remains were returned to Ireland and he was honoured with a public funeral at Glasnevin Cemetery . Almost immediately afterwards public subscriptions were sought for the erection in O'Connell Street , of a monument to Gray . The monument was completed in 1879 and was dedicated to the " appreciation of his many services to his country , and of the splendid supply of pure water which he secured for Dublin " . His legacy also included his contributions to the passage of the Irish Church and Land Bills , his advocacy for tenant 's rights and his support of the Home Rule movement . Gray had married Mary Anna Dwyer of Limerick in 1839 , and they had five children ; three sons and two daughters . One of his sons , Edmund Dwyer Gray took over the management of the Freeman 's Journal . Edmund also followed his father into politics , and would eventually become MP for Dublin ( Stephen 's Green ) , Lord Mayor of Dublin ( 1880-1881 ) , and a supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell . Edmund John Chisholm Dwyer-Gray ( Edmund Dwyer Gray 's son , and Sir John Gray 's grandson ) would become Premier of Tasmania .
