Young people from refugee and migrant communities have created a mural in Cork calling for an end to direct provision and for a conversation on positive change for a multicultural Ireland.

The mural, by those who attend the Cork Migrant Centre (CMC) based at Nano Nagle Place in the city centre, features words and images created by young black people, many of whom live in direct provision, and was part-inspired by the Black Lives Matter global movement sparked by the killing of George Floyd in the US.
