Belfast’s very own award winning Irish Coleen, Gráinne Holland from Laochra Loch Lao CLG, has today, 22/6/10, launched two new wall murals at Divis Street the gateway to West Belfast’s Gaeltacht Quarter.
The eye-catching pieces of artwork, executed by local mural artists Dan Devenney and Marty Lyons are located in a series of murals on what is known as the International Wall in Divis Street at the bottom of the Falls Road.
The official launched took place to coincide with the start of the annual tourist season which will get into full swing by the end of this month.
Written on Forbairt Feirste mural is the original version of the ninth century poem known as ‘The Blackbird of Belfast’, along with an English language translation of the same. The mural itself draws on the imagery of Laochra Loch Lao CLG, the Gaeltacht Quarter Gaelic football team.
Forbairt Feirste and Laochra Loch Lao jointly sponsored this beautiful mural full of traditional imagery and associations.
A second mural was simultaneously launched celebrating the role of local Irish Language community radio station Raidió Fáilte which broadcasts 24 hours per day live from Cultúrlann MacAdam Ó Fiaich in the heart of the West Belfast Gaeltacht Quarter.
