A mural created by young people at Oberstown Children Detention Campus and members of An Garda Síochána has been unveiled in north Dublin.
The artwork project, facilitated by Gaisce – The President’s Award, is aimed at building trust and empathy between young people and gardaí.
The “Outreach” mural is located on the wall of Balbriggan Garda Station.
It is the result of a collaboration between some of the young people in Oberstown and community gardaí in Balbriggan.
The image is designed to capture the community element of policing and the importance of strong relations between the police service and their communities.
It was unveiled by Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development Joe O’Brien.
