'Her story symbolises the modern Cork': Migrant woman mural almost complete

Mr Magee was commissioned by Cork City Council to paint the piece on the double gable wall facing Bishop Lucey Park.

A migrant woman sits in a pool of water clasping a bowl of native Cork flowers. Four storeys tall and overlooking a section of city's ancient walls, she represents the port city's rich history and is a symbol of the modern city.

That's according to international renowned street artist, Fintan Magee, who hopes to finish the latest addition to Leeside's growing list of stunning large-scale street murals within the next 48-hours.
