Regarding the statue of Justice on top of the Court House….It might be my imagination, but was that missing for years?
Im not talking about during the renovations, but before that, I cant remember it being in place and there are certainly some images which i’ve seen from the 80’s/90’s which dont include the statue. Any ideas?

I remember watching it being removed about 10 years ago. A few years later I met a Dublin Art student who had come down to Cork to write a thesis about sculptures of Hibernia. She told me that is was strewn about the National Scuplture Factory in a very poor state of repair. Great to see it back in its original glory atop one of my favourite buildings in Cork.

PS. The sculpture is titled “Justice, Hibernia & Commerce” by Thomas Kirk.
