Cobh to get sculpture of ‘Gorgeous Gael’ Jack Doyle

A new sculpture to be installed in a Cork harbourside town has the potential to become one of the most photographed in Ireland — because of its design.

That’s the feeling of councillors as they await the erection in Cobh of the sculpture representing its most famous son — boxer, Hollywood actor and sometime crooner Jack Doyle.

Cork County Council is to start the planning process for the bronze sculpture at Pearse Square, on the open area outside the BMC shop.
