Wolves have returned to Ballybane, with the installation of a spectacular new mural as part of a community project at Sruthán Mhuirlinne in Ballybane.

The amazing mural features two new works of poetry - one by the mural artist herself, Irene Naughton; the other an Irish poem by award winning poet Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh, with a theme of the last wolf of Merlin Woods. This project was funded by the Waste Enforcement Regional Lead Authorities (WERLA) Anti-Dumping Initiative.
