Cork In 50 Artworks, No 5: Cork poets mural, by Tom Doig 

It may have only lasted a few years, but Tom Doig's mural on North Main Street used a derelict site to pay homage to some of the city's literary talents 

Tom Doig's mural on North Main Street in Cork. 

Of all the Cork artworks in this series, most are meant to stand the test of time: some are monuments, hundreds of years old, while others are housed in galleries and similar institutions.

But Tom Doig’s Cork poets mural was far more ephemeral than that. All the artist has left to remind him of the piece that remains his own favourite outdoor mural is a scale plan of the paint and collage piece.
