Valley sculpture project update

Legal agreements have been reached on the Eamonn O'Doherty sculpture which is to be placed in the Valley Park, writes Brian Byrne.

The project was stalled following the death of the sculptor before the piece was finished at the foundry, and new agreements had to be drawn up with his estate.

Entitled 'Homeward', the sculpture was originally to have been placed at a location on the M9, but the spate of robberies of roadside art in the last year prompted a rethink on the matter.

It is hoped that the piece will soon be at a stage where those involved with the project can view it, prior to it coming to Kilcullen.

Among the ideas put  forward around the sculpture project is that it will form a centerpiece for open air sculpture exhibitions in the Valley.
