The man behind the controversial South Great George's Street mural, Joe Caslin, has installed a second marriage-equality mural, this time on the side of a castle in Galway.

As debates from both sides of the referendum continue to heat up ahead of Friday's vote, Caslin told The Irish Times that the mural was meant to show the dignity between two lovers.

"The images that I wanted to show are things that are dignified. To show love, that’s essentially what it is, the equality that people should have no matter what sort of a relationship they’re in," Caslin told the Irish Times.

Drag performer, Panti Bliss, tweeted a picture of the mural that shows two women embracing:

The mural is 14 meters tall and has been stuck to the castle with the owner's permission and will not to leave mark once taken down.

Pictured below is Caslin's original mural, titled 'The Claddagh Embrace'. The mural sparked controversy when it was paced on the side of a building on George's Street in Dublin.
