Mulcahy says he was inspired by a similar project he completed in Tallow a number of years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">He says the previous initiative transformed the area and showed what could be achieved when communities come together and take pride in their town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waterfordcouncil.ie\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/waterfordcouncil.ie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Waterford City and County Council<\/a> is supplying paint for the project, while all work on the day will be carried out on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cllr.
