Cork school creates bottle top mural to bring students together during lockdown

The mural, which stands at a massive 24ft by 8ft, is now displayed on the back of the school shelter on Rossmore Road, Ballineen

The bottle top mural at Ballymoney National School, Ballineen, took 12,400 plastic bottle caps to create.

A small two-teacher school in West Cork had big ambition when they set out to create something that would bring the children and community closer during the long months of lockdown.

The two classrooms of Ballymoney National School in Balineen spent the school year separated from each other due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
