A group of up to 18 women in Co Wicklow, aged 65 to 90, spent four years knitting this.

The women met every Wednesday at Carnew Community Care centre where they came up with ideas of landmarks and historical sites across the island of Ireland that they could sew and knit together.

While 18 people started off the project, three of the women died over the years, and two others went into nursing homes.

"We covered the whole of Ireland in green squares, all different shades of green, before we started doing any of the knitting.

"Then we started with Leinster, and somebody said, 'I'll do Mount Leinster', and someone else started on Hook Head [Lighthouse], and different people did different parts. We worked together on everything.
