Threading the Tain

This magnificent tapestry depicts the epic story of Táin Bó Cúailnge.
Each of the five panels was made in one of the five counties through which Queen Maeve's army passed on their journey to capture the Brown Bull of Cooley.
The last panel, made here in Louth, shows the warrior Chu Chulainn who single-handedly defended Ulster before being fatally wounded.
The tapestry was made by volunteers who worked under the guidance of textile artists to a design made by Dundalk artist Sophie Coyle.
It is currently on display in the local arts centre in Dundalk.
