Not to belittle her achievements but folk need to calm down, even revolutionaries and statesmen generally have to wait until they’ve passed on for this kind of treatment.

Too much, too soon. An admirable figure, but perhaps a national award would be more fitting?

Isn’t there a danger that revellers late on a Saturday night might want to engage in fisticuffs with the aforementioned statue. I am not against the statue but perhaps if should be made of Rubber.

Responsible Bray citizen

A little OTT in my opinion, maybe if she wins a few more Olympic gold medals maybe,

The Katie Taylor band wagon, main stream media didn’t give two excrements about her before her victory, now everyone wants a piece of the Katie pie.

tacky

Why would the statue show her on her knees?

Way too soon IMO.

People come from all over the world to have their photo taken with the Joe Dolan statue in Mullingar.

Give it a year or two and see if the Katie hysteria is still as strong. Let’s not get carried away

Should get by planning no problem at all, considering our beautiful old town hall is now a McDonald’s and awhole block of old houses on the Main Street alongside this site were knocked down to build a monstrosity of a block of (empty) shops and apartments… never mind our architectural heritage and the fact that the Main Street had until that point been little changed for more than a century – money talks…

As for a statue – it could not be there because that is an historic monument – we should only have one if it can be of a decent standard – we do not do public art too well in this country – witness hideous tacky Molly Malone statue in Dublin… Rant over!

What does Katie & her family say?

I think a statue is a great idea,but let katies amazing career sink in first.Freedom of city could not go to a more humble lady.

Why not in graffton st ? Add another legend to street to join Phil and Molly !!

a statue is a fitting tribute to a great role model,I’d be in favour of it
