Over £12,000 was raised by the local community which is an amazing achievement and great to see this community so involved. In 100 years time people will be saying ‘this is what the people of Ballymoney did’, its a lasting legacy.
“I would like also to thanks Sammy McClements and Noel Anderson for their hard work as well as Liz Johnston for bringing it all together.”
Many councillors reiterated Cllr Finlay’s comments, praising such ‘a successful day’.
The sculpture project cost £30,000. Council contributed £20,000 with the remaining monies contributed by local businesses, groups and individuals, and funds raised through street collections and fundraising events.
