President unveils art work by Maree Hensey and Mark Ryan at Clifden Community School

President Higgins visited Clifden, to unveil an art work by Maree Hensey and Mark Ryan.

The piece was placed in the grounds of Clifden Community School, which was formed following a merger of two schools run by the Franciscan Brothers and the Sister of Mercy. The school opened a new building in September 2018, and 1% of the building costs was reserved for the art project. 

The President has called the school “the spiritual centre of the Clifden Arts Festival” -  the longest running community arts festival in Ireland.
