Taoiseach Micheál Martin will unveil a statue of the late SDLP leader and former MEP, John Hume, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg later today.
The bronze bust was made by Dublin-based sculptor Liz O’Kane, who is originally from Northern Ireland.
Fine Gael and Midlands North West MEP Colm Markey supports the Parliament’s decision to honour Mr Hume’s legacy.
