New Monument to Honour Navan's Miners
A call has been made by the Meath Council of Trade Unions for a new sculpture to honour Navan's miners, to be located near the Andy Connolly Roundabout.
The existing 'On the Great Wide Open' sculpture, which pays tribute to the mining industry in Navan, is to be relocated.
The current monument does not reflect the image of a current day miner.
According to John Regan, chairman of Meath Council of Trade Unions, a new sculpture is needed to better represent the miners.
- The sculpture was put in storage in January when the roundabout was replaced with a signalised junction.
- Council officials will present on the future location of the sculpture at a Navan Municipal Council meeting.
