Artist may be prosecuted over graffiti on cliffs

The country’s leading natural tourist attraction has been targeted by a graffiti artist, who has painted a large mural on the rock at the Cliffs of Moher.

The graffiti, measuring roughly three metres wide and two metres wide, was discovered on a remote section of cliff, close to Hags Head in Co Clare.

The daring artist would have had to climb onto a narrow walkway overlooking a sheer 150m-high cliff in order to complete the mural. Because of the porous nature of the sandstone rock which makes up the Cliffs of Moher, it may take years or even decades for the design to be weathered away naturally.
