Tomás Mac Curtain mural on Coburg Street

A new mural was pained recently at the top of Coburg Street, Cork. It depicts Tomás Mac Curtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, playing a violin and surrounded by people from his life. He was assassinated by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1920, at the age of 36.

The mural was painted by Shane O’Driscoll and Peter Martin of Ardú Cork.
