The latest creation by Maddenstown artist Pat Munnelly has arrived in Kilcullen in the form of St Brigid, writes Brian Byrne.

The artwork is courtesy of Kilcullen Community Action, which has commissioned many pieces over recent years to mark festive times including Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

Pat makes the creations as a form of art therapy, which he was introduced to in hospital following a head injury. He says it helps him deal with a depression which came as a result of his injury.

His works can be seen in a number of towns around the county at such times. They are made from materials that have been recycled or up-cycled, and often include elements from nature such as heathers.
