A new mural has been unveiled at Tara Street Station to mark Pride 2023.
It's the latest installment of Iarnród Éireann's Station Art Programme, and has been created by Dublin-based French visual artist Claire Prouvost.
The artwork spans 65 square-metres of arches in a section of wall on the southbound platform of the station.
Inspired by the cubist movement, Claire’s art celebrates diversity, love and everyday life.

Iarnród Éireann’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Executive Samuel Riggs said“We’re so excited to partner with Claire Prouvost on this beautiful mural, created to celebrate Pride 2023. As well as providing a bit of extra love to Tara Street Station, this mural reaffirms our commitment to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community – both customers and colleagues – and creating a service where everyone is welcome onboard"
The work at Tara Street follows 2022’s Pride-themed DART, in which a carriage on their fleet were transformed with the message “Travel with Pride, let’s keep moving forward,” and which continues to greet DART customers daily one year on.
Known for her drawings of charismatic women in a bold, pop and minimalist style, Ms Prouvost has previously worked with the likes of Gucci, Lavazza, Guinness, Brown Thomas and many more.
