Dulcie and Rachel spoke about the importance of having more art on the streets. Art can help to brighten a place up and make it feel more welcoming. I was delighted that they had some examples from Cork. As part of the arts festival in Skibbereen, we hire an artist to produce murals to make the town livelier and more colourful. I love the Waterford walls, which are famous now for being so amazing. Have the witnesses identified walls and other spaces that could be used for public art in Carlow? Do they have suggestions for the type of paintings they would like to see?
