Massive sculpture planned for Dublin Docklands

A massive human sculpture could tower over a city if planning permission lodged today is granted.

The 151ft (46m) figure – almost half the height of Dublin’s landmark Spire – is to be sited on the River Liffey in the city next to the Sean O’Casey bridge. It was designed by artist Antony Gormley, best known for the Angel Of The North in Gateshead, north-east England.
