Artwork description:

This box location is just a stone throw away from 70 Kildare Road, which is where one of Ireland's best-known writers and poets, Brendan Behan grew up. 2023 marks one hundred years since his birth at the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, Dublin. A proud denizen of the Temple Street area of Dublin city, his life was cut short by premature death in 1964 in which he left behind a richly creative life which included works such as the Quare Fellow and Borstal Boy.
