It comes from a mural by Tom Doig, featuring some of Cork’s most famous sons and daughters including Keano, Sonia O’Sullivan and Rory Gallagher.
Doig himself wrote: “I was commissioned to make this mural by peoplesrepublicofcork.com in order to brighten up some wooden hoardings in Cork City centre. The famous Cork people included are: Roy Keane (Footballer), Rory Gallagher (Guitarist), Frank O’Connor (Writer), Sonia O’Sullivan (Olympic Athlete) and Mother Jones (Trade Unionist).”
