Steep clean sees graffiti removed at Moher

In a commando-style operation, a team of cleaners have removed graffiti from the Cliffs of Moher as they worked held up by ropes 180m above the sea.

A specialist team from Limerick was hired to remove the graffiti, the work of a mystery artist.

Billy Marshall, managing director of Premier Industrial cleaners, said: “In my 21 years in business, this was the most daunting task we have had to carry out. Access to the site was a major hindrance due to the landscape and terrain so all the equipment had to be carried 450 yards from the vehicles to the side of Hag’s Head, which is on the Liscannor side.
