Katie McCabe
March 2023
We’re so delighted to unveil our fabulous new mural of Tallaght legend and international star, Ireland captain, Katie McCabe, this International Women’s Day. Created by another talented Tallaght woman, artist Emmalene Blake. Katie is an inspiration to us all and like all of Tallaght, Dublin and Ireland, we’re so proud of all she’s achieved. Katie will lead Ireland in this year’s FIFA World Cup finals in Australia / NZ and we’re right behind her and the team.

To mark World Mental Health Day 2021, The Square teamed up with local street artist Emmalene Blake, and JIGSAW for our “Be Sound to Your Ceann” campaign.
Central to the campaign was the transformation of our “Tree of Hope” area on Level 3 with a vibrant new and permanent mural by Emmalene.
Emmalene’s design was also replicated on limited edition t-shirts and a pop up selfie station as part of a fundraising campaign in October 2021 for JIGSAW Youth Mental Health.
