A MURAL AT MOUNTJOY SQUARE PARK<\/strong><\/p>


A few years ago I was advised by the police (Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na) that it was not safe for me to photograph in the area as they had been made aware that my camera was attracting attention. Of course I took their advice and left area but I could never decide if what they said was a general comment or related to a specific incident or current activity.<\/p>

Fionnula is an artist working across the mediums of paint sculpture and installations, as project manager in collaboration with other artists for murals and public art and also as artistic designer for events. The artist works closely with businesses, schools, community groups and city councils to bring a high quality of work to the streets of Ireland as she believes in the power of art to transform communities.<\/p>

Mountjoy Square is located in the middle of a square of Georgian buildings on the Northside of the city centre. This historic park has a playground, three tennis courts and 7-a-side all weather football pitch.<\/p>
