Yesterday, the Limerick Leader published an article to let the people know that Limerick City and County Council would like to hear on everyone’s idea for a new mural/painting to be placed at one of the city centre’s key spot.
The local authority is seeking ideas from members of the public ahead of commissioning a painting for the gable wall of Speaker’s Corner at the junction of the Hyde Road and the Lower Carey’s Road.
While the building itself has been bought by the Mid-West Simon Community and is being converted into apartments, the Council has been given permission for the mural.
In particular, designers at the Council are seeking ideas for the mural which will have a connection to its location and history.
The mural, to be visible from the People’s Park, will be designed and painted by Bold Details […]
Maria Donoghue, the executive architect with Limerick City and County Council said: “This is a great opportunity for the people of Limerick to get involved in creating new artwork for their city”.
The mural will be unveiled at the beginning of the summer if weather permits it.
While ideas are to be submitted by email to maria.donoghue@limerick.ie or on Twitter using the following hashtag #SpeakersMural, some people are already suggesting to go for a Cranberries/Dolores O’ Riordan tribute.
Maybe one of the Cranberries album covers??? #Speakersmural pic.twitter.com/uL3epmiKsQ

If, like us, you feel like supporting this idea, we invite you to email or tweet the local authorities to let them know that The Cranberries deserve this spot.
Let’s make it happen #TheCranberriesMural #SpeakersMural !!!
Obviously to me this cannot be anything else than zombie pic.
I favor the black and white group picture with profile of Dolores.
