PIC: The Bill O’Herlihy mural in Dublin has been finished and it looks magnificent

Just perfect.

On Wednesday night, we brought you a glimpse of a Bill O’Herlihy mural that was in the works at the Back Page pub in Phibsborough.

Located on a wall in the beer garden out the back of the pub, it depicts Billo in one of his most memorable moments, following Ireland’s victory over Romania on penalties at Italia ‘90.

“Alf has been cancelled,” said Billo. “You’re Alf, Bill,” replied Eamon Dunphy.

We’ve since received evidence that the mural has been completed and it is a stunning tribute to the late broadcaster, who has been sorely missed since his untimely passing last May.

We’ll leave it there so.
