€46m sculpture planned for Liffey

A MASSIVE human sculpture could tower over Dublin if a planning application lodged yesterday is given the green light.

The €46m figure — almost half the height of Dublin’s landmark Spire — is to be sited on the River Liffey in the city next to the Seán O’Casey bridge.

It was designed by artist Antony Gormley, best known for the Angel Of The North in England.
