Bronze hares have a message for politicians

I VISITED Dublin the other day to view those much hyped monumental hare sculptures.

They are certainly eye-catching and I suspect they make a lot more sense to the average citizen than The Spire which, in the opinion of many, is just a crass and farcical eyesore.

But I hope the bronze masterpieces on display in our capital city can serve another purpose. Perhaps they might remind us that the animal so eloquently and ingeniously depicted by world-renowned artist Barry Flanagan is one of the most wronged and persecuted creatures on this island.
