A stone carving on the grounds of Kilkenny Castle has gone viral for bearing a remarkable likeness to Irish singer and actor, Keith Duffy.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), user David Hicks (@davidhicksbook), contrasted the images of the two side-by-side to highlight the similarities.

His post has since been reposted by well-known Irish performer and podcaster Blindboy Boatclub and has amassed almost 100,000 views.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time somebody on social media has made the connection between this carving and Duffy.
There are numerous other examples (see below) from over the years.
