It is in Irish, English and French and located here C6138 : The pier, Moville The English text includes the following wording, "The Fid Carved from a single oak. Over the 19th and 20th centuries this pier was a point of departure for emigrant ships bound for Canada and America.

The artist was Locky Morris
