Redmond Herrity (Irish: Réamann Ó hOireachtaigh) is an Irish sculptor from Letterkenny, County Donegal.
Herrity was inspired by street sculptors in India during a visit there in 1997. He later visited Australia where he got to work with stone for the first time. He returned from his tour of the world in 1999. He completed a one year course at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre in 2001. He graduated with a diploma in stone carving and bronze making. Herrity has held exhibitions of his work in various countries throughout the world. To increase his sculpting knowledge he visited Carrara in Italy.[1]
His works include the Celtic Cross in Letterkenny. He came to the attention of the national media for his sculpture of Our Lady, which can be seen in St Mary's Church, Rasharkin, County Antrim.[2] He also constructed the memorial to the Miami Showband which is located at the Hugh Lane Gallery on Parnell Square.[3] He was thanked by former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern for this piece of work.[4]
