Thursday and Friday 19th and 20th June 2003 saw another chapter written in Churchtown's renewal history when the giant Obelisk was put in place on Bruhenny Village Green, the Great Bull of Bruhenny was installed across from house 24 Bruhenny and the specially commissioned GAA sculpture was also erected. Here is a small selection of pictures from the two days. The final section of the obelisk being lifted by Mike Foley in Cussen's 60 tonne all terrain mobile crane. The obelisk came in 4 sections each measuring 2.5 metres. Maurice Gilbert to the left, Michelle Gleeson looking on, Patsy and Ger from Ballyhoura Construction and to the right Noel Gaynor, 14 Bruhenny. The Radharc na Sleibhte / Mountain View development is to the rear. Cussen's crane about to lift the base of the obelisk with homes 1 to 11 Bruhenny in the background. See the Great Bull of Bruhenny arriving in the crate!
