Sculpture nearly ready

The long-planned sculpture for the south end of the town, representing the historical site at Dun Ailinne, will be completed in July.

The work is being done by sculptor Noel Scullion and the project is being manged by Kilcullen Community Action with financial help from a number of organisations, including KELT.

At a recent meeting of KCA, Noel Clare noted that 'a good bit' of work will need to be done before they can set a date for the official launch of the sculpture. "A concrete plinth will have to be built, and a large crane will be required to lift the piece," he said.
