Public turning a deaf ear to €100,000 memorial

A MONUMENT designed to honour a generation of Irish emigrants has been branded a waste of public money.

Cork city councillors raised concerns on Monday about the lack of visitors to the Listening Post monument on Penrose Quay.

“These are supposed to be listening posts. But I’ve never seen anyone listening to them,” said Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O’Driscoll.
