City seeks to beef up festive trade with the help of Cow Up A Tree

IT’S the “moo-ving statue” they hope will draw thousands of visitors to Cork city this Christmas and beef up city trade.

And hard-pressed traders are set to milk it for all it’s worth.

City manager Tim Lucey unveiled plans last night to install the massive bronze statue, entitled Cow Up A Tree, in the heart of the city in the run-up to Christmas as part of a package of measures designed to boost festive shopping.
