A Cork artist has had a painting that includes a risqué image of former Taoiseach, Charlie Haughey, withdrawn from an exhibition opening tonight at the CIT Cork School of Music (CSM), according to Colette Sheridan of the Evening Echo.

The Evening Echo reports that Joe McNicholas, a graduate of the Limerick College of Art and Design, is one of three artists taking part in the exhibition entitled ‘Spring Notes.’
