Stone craftsmen carve their own place in history

Victor Daly, Sheep’s Head Peninsula, a stonecutter who has worked extensively in Ireland and abroad.

“Our craft is the oldest in the world. Our handiwork is seen everywhere, in town, country and village. The men who have gone before us have left a heritage to be proud of and we feel our own contribution has been for the good.

“With hammer, mallet and chisel we have shaped and fashioned rough boulders. We are a little group of Craftsmen doing our work as well as we can.”
