Clancy’s Strand
- Clancy’s Strand is named after George Clancy, who was elected mayor of Limerick in 1921. He died in office when he was shot by British Auxiliaries on 7 March 1921, during the War of Independence.
- In 2009, Clancy’s Strand was reopened by the mayor of Limerick, becoming a popular riverside promenade.
- It was one of 19 listed venues for the 19th edition of EVA in 1994, curated by Jan Hoet (b. 1936, Belgium; d. 2014). On March 12 1994 The Limerick Post published a short article about the curator with the headline ‘Belgium’s Sexiest Man Visits Limerick’.
- That year, Steven Bachelder (b. 1961, USA) presented an outdoor installation incorporating the trees on Clancy’s Strand.
