Sculptor Aidan Harte has shared with IrishCentral his thoughts about the controversy surrounding his Púca of Ennistymon statue.
Harte told IrishCentral on Wednesday morning: All I can say is that it matters what all the people of Clare think. A vocal minority seem to have been set against it from the start, and that culminated with the priest denouncing it from the altar as a pagan idol. That s silly; the Púca is no more pagan than the leprechaun. But since the controversy went national there s been a swing, with locals who like it now speaking up. That s welcome and I hope it goes ahead.
