A PICNIC in People’s Park on July 3 with ice creams for those who screamed was occasion for the unveiling of the PALLS addition to Urban Horse Herd. PALLS is Probation in Limerick and Linkage Scheme which works with trainees who are clients of the Probation Service.
A dozen of them, based on the Dock Road, laboured joyfully on the project with Limerick Corridor Art Ltd’s Angela Connolly, their manager Margaret Griffin and LSAD Sculpture degree volunteers, Aisling Mc Grory and Tara Keegan to create this magnificent 6’4 X 4′ kneeling icon. Another four horses saw the green of grass again having been re-painted by their individual city groups or schools such as Ard Scoil Rís.
Appreciation for the four (of 15) others freshly painted by community groups and schools.
