No Planning Permission For Marriage Equality Mural
Dublin City Council (DCC) has warned that a pro-marriage equality mural may have to be removed as no planning permission was sought for the artwork.
Created by artist Joe Caslin, the mural depicting two men in an embrace, appeared last month on the side of a building on South Great George's Street.
According to a report councillor Mannix Flynn has said that the "only issue" was with planning permission and not the content of the mural.
"I'm totally for the 'Yes' campaign and, personally, I think that it is a fine piece of art, but it’s simply about adhering to the regulations and making sure there is consistency," he told the Herald.
