Sculpture ready

The Dun Ailline sculpture planned for the representation of the ancient site at the south end of Nicholastown is now ready for erection.

The recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action discussed the best time for the official unveiling of the edifice, and it was suggested that because of the relationship of the design to the solstices that 23 March next might be appropriate.

The 'spear' sculpture by Noel Scullion incorporates a feature which uses the sun on the solstices to light up a particular part of the whole thing.

"We might want to make sure that a few trees in the area are trimmed beforehand," J J Warren quipped.
