Youths put in cell to work out plan to remove graffiti

Four graffiti enthusiasts yesterday spent over an hour in a holding cell at Limerick courthouse.

They were sent there by Judge Eugene O’Kelly to consider how they intended to remove some of their handy work from the famous Frank McCourt Museum in Harstonge Street.

Una Heaton, owner of the museum, told the court a major international Frank McCourt event was taking place at the museum on July 19 which will be attended by foreign media.
