City turns out to sign condolences for Shane

SILENT queues formed as people numbed by this latest murder waited to sign a book of condolence for the family of Shane Geoghegan.

The city’s mayor, Cllr John Gilligan, and city manager, Tom Mackey, were among the first of a long line who came to city hall to pay their respects.

John Purcell, a member of the Young Munster Club and a well-known referee, was also among the early signatories.
