Boarded-up houses set for mural makeover

ART will attempt to imitate life as a string of boarded-up houses in a Limerick estate are painted and decorated to give the impression they are occupied.

With many of the houses on St Mary’s Park estate set to be demolished as part of the Limerick regeneration project, neighbouring residents are attempting to keep the area looking as well as possible in the meantime.

Locals in the earmarked regeneration estate have started work on painting murals on metal sheets which will be put in place.
