Irish marriage equality mural makes front page of the International New York Times

Caslin took to Twitter this morning to share the news.

A MURAL BY Limerick artist Joe Caslin has been reproduced on the front page of the International edition of the New York Times.

The mural which first appeared on South Great Georges Street in Dublin shows two men in an embrace. It was produced to promote a Yes vote in the same-sex marriage referendum on Friday.

Today’s New York Times reports that Ireland is set to ‘quietly take up same sex marriage’.

Caslin took to Twitter this morning to share the news, saying: “Today the drawing that was installed on South Great George’s Street made the front page of the International New York Times.”

It comes after a new mural by the artist was revealed on the side of the ancient Caher Castle in Galway this week. It shows two women in an embrace.

    Imagine paying all that money, and then it doesn’t tell the right time.

    @STOIC SAVAGE: Who said they owned them,being in possession of counterfeit/stolen goods is an offence ,what about all those raids where such goods are confiscated and destroyed. If they are the rightful owners they will be able to prove it,right.

    Whom ever buys luxury watches must know they always look incredibly tacky and tasteless. Don’t care if you are a criminal or just massively rich expensive doesn’t mean much if you have no style or taste.

    Has the CAB made any progress on the investigation into O’Bribes donations to the ex minister Lowry and the findings of the Moriarty Tribunal…?

    What if they got the watch as a gift?
    I often wonder about the need to take luxury watches.
    Obviously if bought from dodgy money that’s fair enough, but will they be sold then with the boxes and papers? Otherwise they straight away lose value and nobody will want them.
    They both look fairly fake too just to note.

    @Madra: if they got watches as a gift then all they have to do is prove it and get their watches back , simple as that.
