Athlone councillor: Defence Forces' members find artwork offensive

The councillor who tabled a motion in the chamber of Athlone Town Council requesting the removal of a piece of artwork from a gallery in the town has said that the piece is "offensive to those who served in the Defence Forces".

The question of whether the controversial art installation should be removed from Athlone's Luan Gallery was referred to the board of directors of the new facility last night.
