The most iconic image of the Battle of Clontarf was officially launched by the Minister of State for Public Service Reform and the OPW, Brian Hayes, today at the Casino in Marino. The painting by Hugh Frazer features in many books on Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf and is now owned by Kildare Partners who have made it available for the commemorations.
