BANDON Town Council has approved a proposal to name a picturesque riverside walkway the Graham Norton River Walkway to honour the comedian and famous talk show host.
The proposal was made by the Bandon Rebel Week committee as part of the Cork flagship Gathering event, which will run from October 14th-20th.
WEST Cork’s Graham Norton has bagged another Bafta scooping the 2013 award for best entertainment programme for The Graham Norton Show.
The Bandon native was hosting the glittering awards ceremony in London’s Royal Festival Hall, when he was honoured himself.
PLANS to erect a statue in honour of TV star Graham Norton in his hometown of Bandon have been described as a ‘waste of money’ by the man himself.
The plan was to commission a West Cork artist to design and build the statue, which would then be unveiled by Mr. Norton in Bandon as part of the Cork Rebel Week celebrations in October.
However, it appears that Mr. Norton is not in favour of the idea and said ‘I must write to them and beg them not to. It’s such a waste of money and it would look hideous.’
