Carron, Co. Clare
When I spotted the water service chamber cover with the celtic design on it, I thought that an opportunity had been missed.
Instead of all the statues and art on the by-passes and new roads of the country, would it not have been better to commission designs for covers for manholes and chambers in cities and towns.
The ‘cover’ art would have been able to have been appreciated close up by a larger population. It could even have told different stories as one walked along a particular route.
They could even have doubled up as plaques – what is recorded on walls could have been recorded on manhole covers.
