Shane Geoghegan art installation to be removed

An art installation consisting of more than 20,000 clay figures handmade in memory of murdered rugby player Shane Geoghegan is to be removed, as the fifth anniversary of his death approaches.

Members of Shane Geoghegan’s family have decided to remove the Pitch for Shane Art Installation, which involved members of the public and ceramicists from around the world.

Next Saturday, Nov 9, will mark five years since the innocent Garryowen rugby player was murdered in a case of mistaken identity and his family believe now is the time to end the Pitch for Shane, as the trial and inquest into his death is over.
