"The route I went is quite literal. I felt like it needed to be quite literal. During my research I noted that there was a rota for building the wall. It was on Sundays that the women took over. I thought that was an interesting stance.”He also like the story of the Maiden Gate where any man who committed any crime against a local woman was jailed in the ‘women’s jail’ and the strong women who featured in his murals reflect the New Ross women of that era.
