In 2019 for the Alcock & Brown Centenary
Celebrations, Heathrow Airport very kindly loaned Clifden the original Alcock &
Brown Statue. Before the statue was returned, a cast was made in order to make
a beautiful replica statue in bronze that will now stand on the Clifden Town
Square. This was made possible by Sean and Bernadine Mulryan who very
generously sponsored the replica statue. All are invited along to the official
unveiling by British Ambassador Robin Barnett on Friday, March 6th at 11am on
The Clifden Town Square.
