Cloaked rider sculpture to be unveiled in Innishannon

THIS is the artist’s sketch of the spectacular €35,000 sculpture of a cloaked rider soon to be unveiled in the West Cork village of Innishannon.

The piece, by sculptor Don Cronin, renowned for his eye-catching Bull of Macroom, will be unveiled early next month along with the launch of a history trail for the village, and an historic map of landmark buildings.

Once installed in the village, the sculpture of a cloaked man on horseback will commemorate the fact that Innishannon was the “gateway” to West Cork for many years.
