Statues of rugby stars to get city lineout
Tim Lucey told councillors during last night’s meeting that work is advancing to find the right spot for the bronze statue depicting O’Gara and Stringer in action. It is designed to celebrate the spirit of Munster rugby in general.
It is envisaged that the larger-than-life-size figures — mounted on granite plinths and standing between 16ft and 25ft apart — would show Stringer throwing a pass to O’Gara.
It is understood that a site on the Grand Parade has now emerged as a favoured location.
