Arty touch-up for buildings

A group of Fifth Year students from Cross & Passion College have taken on the job of adding a bit of colour to closed shops on Main Street.

Leaning on the tradition behind the former Carroll's Butchers at the bottom of the hill north of the bridge, they came up with a stylised cow that had elements of the Táin times.

At the time the pictures were taken, it wasn't clear what the windows near Dr Kelly's surgery were going to be, but Liz Kilgannon, Elaine Hanlon, Gordon Bond and Lindsey Harnwell were busy at their own concept.

The project is under the auspices of Kilcullen Community Action and follows on discussion at a recent meeting on how closed premises were giving the town a poor image.
