A new cross-community artwork has been officially unveiled near The Mill Wheel in Ennis, following a joyful launch, including members of The Men’s Shed, Clare County Council, Ennis Tidy Towns, and the IPAS Centre.

This creative collaboration brought together people across cultures, generations, and communities, resulting in a stunning permanent piece that lights up at night with solar-powered stars.

For many of the thirty individuals who donated waste jewellery and coins to the project, seeing how their contributions were transformed has been a moment of real pride.

To discuss htis further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Evelyn Sorohan, creative and environmental director and Paddy Tiernan, senior engineer whom facilitated the project.
