The Salmon of Knowledge: A Gift to Lough Derg
This mural was created by acclaimed artist David Speed and donated to the twin towns of Killaloe–Ballina as part of Resonance Lough Derg, a not-for-profit festival rooted in creativity, ideas, and connection. Painted (with permission) in 2025 on the old co-op building on the Tipperary side of the bridge, it is a public artwork inspired by local mythology, the River Shannon, and the belief that creativity flows from place.
