Cork sculpture to recreate iconic War of Independence painting

It is proposed to make life-size sculptures of one of the War of Independence's most iconic image, 'Men of the South' by Sean Keating and situate them in the grounds of Kanturk Castle.

Plans are being drawn up to recreate the War of Independence's most iconic image in life-size sculptures, while a unique “graffiti” history of the conflict will be painted next Sunday – marking the centenary of The Truce.

The sculpture recreation of the immortal 'Men of the South' is planned to be located in the Duhallow region of Co Cork, where the IRA men painted by artist Seán Keating came from.
