A new mural has been completed in Monkstown, the collaborative work of local and professional artists.
The majestic mural is in the ‘Cut-and-Cover’ Tunnel in Monkstown, where the iconic underpass has been upgraded with colour and imagery, in an homage to the town’s rail, industrial and maritime heritage.
The project was commissioned by Cork County Council and completed by artists from ‘The Walls Project’, who have experience in delivering large-scale, impactful murals that aim to improve community spaces through artistic expression.

Care about Cork
Consider, assist, respect and empathise (CARE).
Launched last year as part of Cork County Council’s Project ACT (Activating County Towns), CARE asks that a number of important guidelines be observed.
It firstly asks that we consider older and vulnerable people’s needs as they re-join our communities having had their movements restricted for so long.
