Slievecorragh (Cairn(s)) — Miscellaneous |
|
From 'Volpaire' on Google Maps Dan Clancy was a local man who grew up on Slievecorragh and often walked its slopes with his family. Dan and his many siblings spent many happy childhood days there, and often went up in the evening to watch the sun set. Clancy later emigrated to New York, where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He passed away in 2004 at the young age of 31. Following his death, his brother Andrew – a sculptor – created the chair as a memorial to Dan. Andrew Clancy, is said to have based it on one in the family kitchen. There are many teddy bears left on the chair by hikers and those wishing to commemorate him. The ring on the chair and the original teddy bear were donated by Clancy’s partner in New York. |
