This mural is a tribute to Tomás Ághas (Thomas Ashe), a significant historical figure. The mural prominently displays his portrait in the center, with additional smaller portraits of other individuals in circular frames around him, suggesting they were either contemporaries or influential figures connected to him.

The mural is richly decorated with Celtic designs, including interwoven knot patterns around the border, which emphasize Irish heritage. Below the central portrait, a depiction of a group of people holding banners is shown, possibly referencing a historical event or movement.

To the right of the mural, white text on the green wall states:

"TOMÁS ÁGHAS
An chéad Stailceoir Ocrais a Maraíodh san 20ú haois
First 20th century Republican to die on hunger strike.
múinteoir Poblachtach Gael.
1885–1917"

This commemorates Tomás Ághas as the first Republican to die on hunger strike in the 20th century, and also mentions his role as an Irish teacher. The mural honors his sacrifice and contributions to Irish history and culture.
