Draw Out Limerick has unveiled its most recent addition to the city’s urban artworks with a beautiful butterfly, the latest mural in the Wildlife Walls series, announced by Limerick City and County Council in November 2024 in collaboration with Draw Out Limerick.

The Butterfly is the latest addition to Limerick City’s walls, taking up a prominent place on the side of Spratt’s Island Stores in the historical area of the city.

Completed by local artist, Lulu (Ohhi Uisce), the mural depicts a colourful butterfly on the side of the iconic building, adding to the recent addition of ‘Madra Rua’, the group say the butterfly gives the fox “a buddy to pal with”.
