A 3D artwork that celebrates Cork’s unique heritage has been unveiled in the city centre as part of a brand-new Urban Sculpture Trail. ‘Sentinels’ by Irish artist Niamh McCann on Carey’s Lane is the first of five contemporary sculptures to be installed around the city this year.
Island City, Cork’s Urban Sculpture Trail is designed to enhance the city centre for locals and visitors by providing an experience that organisers say is "arresting, intriguing and playful while also illuminating the city’s heritage".
