A proposal to erect a statue to Hollywood star Robert Mitchum in west Kerry has moved a step closer.
It's the brainchild of Dublin man Maurice Colgan, who previously succeeded in getting a statue of Elvis erected in his hometown in the US.
Mr Colgan wrote to the Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council saying a statue of the Ryan's Daughter actor could prove to be a tourist attraction in west Kerry.
Cllr Patrick Connor-Scarteen has said the idea is worth pursuing and has forwarded the proposal to Corca Dhuibhne Municipal District councillors for their consideration.
