The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick has opened a book of condolence in memory of Shay Kinsella, founder of Share A Dream Foundation.

Mayor Michael Collins said: โ€œShay worked tirelessly to help children who terminally ill see their dreams come true. He founded the Share A Dream Foundation in 1989 after meeting a seven year-old-girl who was battling with leukaemia and since then through the work of the foundation brought smiles and happiness to thousands of sick children and their families.โ€

โ€œThe people of Limerick thank Shay for his drive and desire to help those children. Shayโ€™s legacy will live on in Dreamland, the purpose-built fun centre near Castletroy which allows children of all abilities to โ€˜just be childrenโ€™ and not think about their illness or disability.โ€

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the book of condolence is only available online on Limerick.ie here.
