POISED PORTAL BY EILEEN McDONAGH [CUSTOM HOUSE QUAY LIMERICK]
It has taken me about two years to identify this installation in Limerick which I have photographed a number of times but at long last and by accident I found the necessary information.

Poised Portal by Eileen McDonagh (1987). Constructed from limestone, it stands on Custom House Quay.

Eileen MacDonagh was born in Co.Sligo and has worked as a sculptor since the early 1980s. Her work has featured in many exhibitions, both in Ireland and abroad, including shows in Portugal, Scotland, India and Japan.Eileen has both organised and participated in many symposia, in Ireland and abroad; her work is included in numerous collections, such as the OPW, Kilkenny and Cork County Councils, Marlay Park, Dublin and Tawara Newtown, Osaka, Japan.
