To celebrate Culture Night 2020, The Central Bank of Ireland spoke to artist and designer, Robert Ballagh, about his work on the “C” Series of Irish banknotes, which were in circulation between 1992 and 2002. This was the final series of Irish banknotes created by Central Bank of Ireland before the introduction of the euro.
With a brief to celebrate key Irish modernisers of the previous century, Ballagh’s designs covered figures of significant cultural, political and sociological importance such as James Joyce, Daniel O’Connell and Catherine McAuley. In his own words, Robert Ballagh brings us through his creative process for each design with anecdotes of his experience through this decade of iconic work.
