When in Ballina I was impressed by the number and quality of murals I spotted around the town, one big surprise was a large mural of Jack Charlton I spotted out of the window of the Ballina Manor Hotel while having lunch. I then remembered that he is probably now an adopted son after his very successful 10 year spell as manager of the Republic of Ireland national side.
It is amazing what can be done on the side of a building!
One of the town's most famous murals has now however has been painted over, probably why I couldn't find it! Ex-President Biden, due to his ancestral connection to the town had been honoured with a mural on a wall in Market Square in the town but when his views on Palestine where aired a petition was raised to have it removed!
