Corks beloved Man with Birds sculpture, a roadside icon for decades, has been temporarily relocated to make way for a massive motorway upgrade. The eight-foot bronze piece, created by Annette Hennessy in 1995, is now in a safe, temporary spot while the M28 project progresses. Locals miss their daily landmark, but Hennessy is pleased with the sculptures enduring popularity. Once the construction is complete, the Man with Birds will return to his original home, potentially with new planting to complement his nature-inspired theme.
