Council paid for paint in anti-agency mural

PAINT used on a large house mural, lampooning the agency charged with the regeneration of Limerick’s sprawling council estates, was paid for by Limerick City Council, it was confirmed yesterday.

The mural was painted by community activist, Cathal McCarthy as his way of protesting at the exclusion of his small estate from the regeneration programme.

Limerick City Council has confirmed that the mural, which depicts a Simpsons scene and a wrecking ball, was done with paint paid for by the council.
