Inventors and explorers from all over the world are baffled by new evidence of an ancient giant living underneath the Macnas workshop at Fisheries Field in Galway city.
Macnas called on Marjorie Morrigan, an expert on Giants & Where They Come From for her assistance. Ms Morrigan went on to identify this big fella as Con Mór who originates from an ancient Island of Giants off the coast of Connaught. Belonging to the legendary Tuatha Dé Danann tribe Con Mór was so famous across Ireland for his love of birds and nature, his friends used to call him The Bird King!
Thanks to Macnas, he is due to appear for first time in public on the banks of the River Corrib, for 48 hours only, on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 October 2022.
As Con Mór loves birds and nature, to help welcome him to Galway, Macnas is asking kids to make or find a feather - with a message of hope for the future – and deliver it to their special guest at Macnas over the Halloween Bank Holiday Weekend.
