Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for the comment, always appreciated
Believe it or not, your comment is so apt. One of the groups who were campaigning for the statue to not go ahead was a group representing single parents. They said that the statue did not give consideration for single parent families and that it was deliberately leaving out a section of the community. A strange way to think when it is at the end of the day a piece of sculpture that expresse the thoughts of the artist in what he believed was a positive way!
Have a great weekend, warm regards from Adare, Co limerick
