Campaign groups are fighting to save a Gaza inspired mural in Ennis, following an intervention from Clare County Council that could see it removed.
The painting located on the back of the Cornucopia building in the Upper Market Street Cark Park was completed by local artist Rachel MacManus in October and depicts four Palestinian children barefoot holding hands in front of a destroyed city.
The local authority subsequently received a number of public complaints over an “alleged unauthorised mural development” and following an investigation, a warning letter was issued to the property owner.
Spokesperson for People of Clare Against Genocide which commissioned the works, Sarah Geraghty, says they were unaware planning permission was required, but are hopeful of resolving the matter.
