The late broadcaster has been honoured in his native Limerick today.
Sculptor Rory Breslin is behind the tribute and it depicts Wogan seated on a chair with a microphone and book in his hands. Earlier today The Mayor of Limerick Kieran O’Hanlon welcomed well-wishers to the unveiling of the tribute.
The statue is located at Poor Man’s Kilkee on the River Shannon quayside and adjacent to Sarsfield Bridge.

The renowned broadcaster enjoyed almost 50 years of success over the British airwaves. Before retiring in 2009 his BBC Radio 2 weekday breakfast programme Wake Up to Wogan had 8 million regular listeners, making him the most listened-to radio broadcaster in Europe.
He passed away in 2016 at the age of 77.
