Bronze bust of McCourt for city

LIMERICK is to honour the late award-winning author Frank McCourt with a bronze bust which will be unveiled in the city centre on May 13.

West Clare sculptor Seamus Connolly was commissioned to do the bust.

He has already completed life-size bronze statues of John B Keane, which stands in Listowel, Olympic athlete Paddy Ryan, which is located in Pallasgreen and a life-size statue of the actor Richard Harris in Kilkee.
