Save The Metal Man campaign group has launched its campaign to save the Metal Man in Rosses Point, Co Sligo, with the help of Westlife’s Shane Filan (pic five).
The group writes:
In any other county he would be a national monument but Rosses Point’s historic Metal Man is rusting away apparently unwanted, unpainted and certainly neglected by Sligo County Council.
Surely this group of people could get their act together and whack some hammerite on the poor fella
I suspect that it’s under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners of Irish Lights, not the council.
I thought I’d love that series about Irish lighthouses but boy was it drawn out. SO BORING.
ever go to hook head lighthouse? if not, should. of all the touristy things in Ireland, it’s by far the best imho
Loop Head is for the connoisseur, not to mention Fastnet, if you have the cojones.
They appreciate their metal men in Tramore
Surely filan has a few Bob…oh sorry didn’t he declare bankruptcy
They could organize a heavy metal live aid concert to save the metal man. They could invite Banksy to Sligo. They could make culture flourish.
Annie West will be along shortly to sort this out.
But, that’s not about them..
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go
Rusting man, rusting man
Could’ve been something, rusting man…
Maybe Pearl Jam could change a few lyrics like I cunningly did there and charity single it.
Has it reached the stage that a couple of these people can’t afford a few tins of
marine paint, wonder did Filans brother put in anything about it, in his local election
manifesto, as he is running for Rea Nua in Sligo Town, it seems the peeling paint
is about to expose his crown jewels
