Sculpture to ‘capture Sonia spirit’

Tourism officials in Cobh, Co Cork, are planning to erect a life-size sculpture of local athlete and Olympic silver medallist Sonia O’Sullivan.

The monument is set to be located on a public path adjacent to Kennedy Quay.

Cobh Tourism Ltd said the purpose of the memorial is “to capture and communicate the determination and indomitable spirit” of the runner. Artists have until mid-July to submit their sculpture proposals.
