Took a few pictures today of some of Seamus Murphy's carvings, in Rathcooney Graveyard, near Glanmire in Cork. Absolutely love the minimal simplicity of that first cross, which is on the back of a headstone. All worked in Limestone.
Irish arts, culture & heritage needs adequate funding & a dedicated government Department
Worth signing if you have 2 minutes, this effects everyone here in one way or another, things need to change, our arts, culture and heritage need to stop having to survive on the scraps they have been. Our history is our future. Go anywhere in the world outside of Ireland and hear how revered our culture and heritage is, while at home it barely gets a look in from the people with the power to change things, except when it suits, when a visiting dignitary gets serenaded with Irish music and pictures of thatched cottages and castles.
