Businesses offer space for Shane’s memorial

Several businesses have pledged to display parts of a massive art installation in memory of murdered rugby player Shane Geoghegan, after it had to be moved out of City Hall, Limerick yesterday.

The ‘Pitch for Shane’, which is the single biggest art installation in the country, was dedicated to the memory of Mr Geoghegan after his brutal murder in November 2008.

The project, consisting of more than 20,000 clay figurines made by people from all over Ireland, was officially launched at City Hall soon after the murder.
