Colourful Coolick National School

EXCLUSIVE
Pupils returning to Coolick National School were greeted with some new bright and vibrant colours as local artist and parent Martin Carey spent all summer working on murals.
The main mural focuses on the native animals of Ireland while other smaller murals around the school include paintings of smaller insects and flowers.
A large mural was painted on what was once a blank dull wall to one of the main entrances of the school and pre-school.
"We had a blank wall and it's the entrance to the school and preschool, so all the kids would pass it every morning. We wanted something bright and colourful," principal Gearoid O'Sullivan told the Killarney Advertiser.
Martin Carey added: "I tried to incorporate all the different elements such as having the native Irish animals on the mural. I do a lot of drawings and paintings but this was the first time I had done a mural.
A lot of time was spent on it during the summer. Hopefully it inspires the kids and have them talking about it and enjoying it."
Mr O'Sullivan added: "It's for the whole school and everyone can benefit from it and we would love to have Martin back for more projects."
