Spotted this yesterday, Im very open about the fact that I do not like this statue, being an artist I just don’t see how a Sculptor could pick this particular role of Harris as an ideal for his portrayal in statue form. I really do think there are other more appropriate roles and characters he has played that would have been more at home in the surrounds of a Limerick audience.
Apparently im not the only one who finds the statue more amusing than inspiring of our native acting hero.
Personally I think this makes Harris look like Burger King than anything else, and I just have to say hats off to the dude I saw put this ciggy in his mouth :)
