Appraisal
This life-sized statue of a military figure is a personification commemorating local republican heroes Seán Brett, Seán Quinn, and Séamus Egan. The high degree of realism and the fine detailing is evidence of the craftsmanship and artistic qualities of this piece. Occupying a prominent site in the centre of Mullinahone, it provides artistic interest to the streetscape.
