Rebels replace Che on the double

Locals in Kilkee have rebelled against Clare County Council’s decision to scrub out a mural of Che Guevara by replacing it with two more.

The appearance of the historic figure in two murals on private properties in recent days follows the Council removing a large mural of Guevara on the Alley Walls in the west Clare town last week.

The drawings — one on the side of the Marine Hotel complex — comes ahead of the third annual Che do Bheatha festival celebrating his visit to Kilkee in 1961.
