Druids Glen golf club to sell off portraits of seven 1916 signatories Paintings of Rising leaders no

Their portraits have graced the stairs of the clubhouse, Woodstock House, since it opened in 1995. However, they no longer suit the "ambience" and will be put up for auction later this month.

"The portraits of the 1916 signatories have been there since Druids Glen opened and I believe they should remain there," he added.
