The huge map includes important sites from the island such as Glendalough, Croagh Patrick, Phoenix Park and the Giant’s Causeway. Among the recreated details there are also Theresa cottage in Donagal, the Ulster Museum, windmills, fishermen, inhabitants and other iconic elements of the area.
Now that she has returned to be talked about, attracting international attention, the ladies hope that their work can find a new home: they want to see it exposed in a public place, it does not matter where, as long as it is accessible and visible to everyone.
