The “Children of Lír” design depicts the 4 children of king Lír whose step wife cursed the children (Fionnula, Conn, Aodh, Fiacra) and turned them into swans. As legend has it after 900 years at the toll of a church bell the swans became human again, aged instantly and died thus representing the end of paganism and the advent of Christianity. Aside from the legend, the design itself symbolises the love, care and protection that siblings often develop for each other when faced with adversity.
