Athlone Family Resource Centre is aiming to create a cloak the length of the town's cycleway bridge.

A 103-metre St. Brigid's Cloak is set to be unveiled this Sunday in Westmeath.

Athlone Family Resource Centre is coming together to weave and sow the cloak, which will span the length of the town's new cycleway bridge.

The event will share poetry, art and stories of Brigid, created by local artists in honour of the Patron Saint.

Manager of Athlone Family Resource Centre Dolores Crerar, says people have helped with the project from everywhere:
