Description

The Ronnie Delany statue stands proudly in Ferrybank, Arklow, honoring the town’s most celebrated athlete. Created by sculptor Paul Ferriter and unveiled in November 2021, the statue captures Delany in motion, wearing the Irish singlet with the iconic number 102—the same he wore when winning gold in the 1,500 meters at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. A fitting tribute to one of Ireland’s greatest sports figures, the statue serves as both a landmark and a source of inspiration for future generations
