Stained glass Skoda

It's pretty unique, and perhaps not very practical, but should certainly catch the eyes of participants at the World Meeting of Families over the next few days, writes Brian Byre.

The Skoda Karoq has been fitted with bespoke stained glass windows in a pattern that represents the diversity of families in Ireland.

It is parked at the RDS in Dublin, the primary location for the WMF.

The design was executed by the last fully trained traditional stained glass designer in Ireland, Evan Connan, who used more than 1,700 individual pieces of glass in the work.

Skoda is the official car partner for the WMF, and two Skoda Rapids used by the pope and officials will be auctioned for charity at a later date.
