The Bull of Navan
The Bull of Navan (Irish: Tarbh na hUaimhe) is a prominent stone sculpture in the town of Navan, in County Meath, Ireland. The statue was sculpted by Galway sculptor Colin Grehan and depicts a large bull being restrained by two men. The image of the bull has historic significance for the town of Navan, where many livestock fairs were held. The sculpture was finally positioned in the Market Square in 2011 following nine years of controversy over the cost of the project and the proposed location. The scope of the project also included a large regeneration of Navan town centre, with the planting of trees and grass, the placing of new lighting at a ground level, and the provision of stone benches.
