Iveragh Peninsula public art campaign launched

A state body which works to improve water quality is launching an art campaign on the Iveragh Peninsula.

The art project is centred around blue dot waterbodies, which according to LAWPRO - the Local Authority Waters Programme - represent our best quality waters.

LAWPRO is inviting artists to submit proposals.

The public artwork will be displayed on two outdoor sites on the Iveragh Peninsula by September.

Bláthnaid O’Loughlin is community water officer for Kerry with the Local Authority Waters Programme.

She outlines where blue dot waterbodies may be found on the Iveragh Peninsula.

Bláthnaid O’Loughlin suggests where they may be located in Iveragh.
