'Much like the way delicious Chickatees stick to your teeth, I too feel Michael Collins' name should be stuck to the mouths of anyone interested in Irish history'
A controversial design to commemorate Michael Collins has been erected in the capital but locals are divided about the art piece.
The striking piece combines one of Ireland's most prominent freedom fighters in our struggle for independence and subsequently in the civil war, with something maybe a bit less important - one of the country's favourite snacks. “Much like the way delicious Chickatees stick to your teeth, I too feel Michael Collins' name should be stuck to the mouths of anyone interested in Irish history.
The striking design has received a mixed reaction from people, with some praising it as "fantastic" and "brilliant", while others knocked it as disrespectful of our culture.
