Piling is due to commence on the site of our International Rugby Experience in Limerick. The tight urban site is on the edge of a conservation area within the city’s Georgian Quarter and the challenge for us is to create a civic building that sits comfortably within the fine grain of the Georgian context. Once complete, the building will be a will be a new cultural institution and visitor experience to showcase the worldwide game of rugby.

Niall will give a lecture on the work on the evening of the 15th January. The lecture will be followed by an event in the Florence Hall to celebrate the installation and its contributors, and to launch Twelve Halls, the book accompanying the exhibition.
