Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or fear? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. What can I fear, when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your Own?

You and I have been friends for a long time. We have had great times and the memories I will cherish dearly. Every time I hear, a story about you lifts my spirit and always brings a smile to my face.

You were such an influential person in so many people’s lives especially mine - whether it was on the pitch, at work, on nights out or just every day life.

You are always in our hearts and in our minds. Every time that I hear the Garryowen Thirds Front Row I will always think of you my friend, my brother, my captain, my Gagsy.

'For Grief' by John O'Donohue

for Grief

When you lose someone you love,
Your life becomes strange,
The ground beneath you becomes fragile,

Your thoughts make your eyes unsure;
And some dead echo drags your voice down
Where words have no confidence

Your heart has grown heavy with loss;
And though this loss has wounded others too,
No one knows what has been taken from you
When the silence of absence deepens.

Flickers of guilt kindle regret
For all that was left unsaid or undone.

There are days when you wake up happy;
Again inside the fullness of life,
Until the moment breaks
And you are thrown back
Onto the black tide of loss.

Days when you have your heart back,
You are able to function well
Until in the middle of work or encounter,
Suddenly with no warning,
You are ambushed by grief.

It becomes hard to trust yourself.
All you can depend on now is that
Sorrow will remain faithful to itself.

More than you, it knows its way
And will find the right time
To pull and pull the rope of grief
Until that coiled hill of tears
Has reduced to its last drop.

Gradually, you will learn acquaintance
With the invisible form of your departed;
And when the work of grief is done,
The wound of loss will heal
And you will have learned
To wean your eyes
From that gap in the air
And be able to enter the hearth
In your soul where your loved one
Has awaited your return
All the time.

-- John O’Donohue

United We Stand In Grief And Anger

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Shane Googhegan. No words can possibly describe the loss of a loved one, especially under such tragic and brutal circumstances.

Life is so precious. To those who see fit to take life away we say "No More." Once again, my beloved city stands tarnished. Once again, a beloved son is taken from us. And once more the people of Limerick must bear another loss. It must end. It must end NOW.

These people who murder on our streets, streets where our children play, streets steeped with pride and history, must be brought to justice. The parents of Shane Geoghegan deserve justice. The people of Limerick deserve justice.

We can do more. We must do more. And we shall do more.

Shannon RFC U-18 Munster League Winners 1996/97

Shane, remember your Shannon days? U-13 Cup winners, you played your socks off the day after your sister Katie passed away. Swansea 1996. "What goes on tour stays on tour”!! Munster U-18 Munster and North Munster League winners 1996/97. Just some of the fantastic memories I will never forget.

I hadn’t seen you in a couple of years but it seems like you hadn’t changed a bit! I still cannot believe how brutally your life was cut short. It just doesn’t make sense. While I cannot describe the anger and frustration I feel, I can’t even begin to imagine what your family are going through.

To Shane’s mum, dad, brother and Jenna, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Please accept my deepest condolences on Shane’s untimely departure.

To the people of Limerick, it’s time to stop the rot and take back our city. A city that we love and have so much pride in but whose name is being muddied by a few mindless scumbags. I hear people saying “Remember Veronica Guerin, June 1996?”, “Remember Anthony Campbell, December 2006?”. We cannot wake up in a year’s time to another tragedy on the front of our newspapers and say “Oh isn’t that terrible, remember Shane Geoghegan, November 2008?”… When is enough really enough? We cannot stand idly by and wait for the politicians and the so called leaders of our country to do something. It is up to us to ensure that Shane does not become just another statistic.

Rest In Peace Shane.

Shane may have been taken too soon by the lowest in our society but from what ive seen about Shane and the love people have for him. Im sure God has opened His arms and embraced this fine young man as His own.

Was lifted up by an unseen hand

What comfort and joy that knowledge brings.

The guardian angels that God sends to all

To bear us up when we stumble and fall.

Trust Him, my friend, and often you'll hear

The whisper of angels wings hovering near.

I cannot articulate how terrible the news of this unspeakable tragedy makes me feel; all I know is that my deep sorrow is a drop in the ocean compared to the grief, outrage and injustice that his family, friends and team mates must be feeling in their hearts now.

Air Atlanta misses you

Firstly on behalf of Air Atlanta can I take this opportunity to send our deepest sympathies to Tom,Mary Anthony and Jenna.

When we all woke up last Sunday and heard of the loss of another innocent person who lost his life, none of us were prepared to find out it was our good friend Shane. Coming into work on Monday morning was a very dark day for all.

My Monday morning conversation with Shane was about the weekend rugby and what was coming upthe following weekend, and then work came into the equation and if it was'nt me needing Shane to help me, it was either one of the other boys, or a manager or stores but the amazing thing about Gagsy was that he managed to make time for us all, it just showed that he was a leader both off and on the pitch.

For those that didnt know Shane, he was an amazing person, but christmas was where he shone, he was our Santa Claus for the kiddies chistmas party, the kids loved him because he brought them great joy giving them their presents, though he was a typical Santa, enjoying the drink he had the night before and suffering a mild hangover the next day, but he would turn up to give the kids their presents.Shane will be sadly missed at work and made a lot of good friends here. it wo'nt be the same without him. I'm so happy we got to know shane in his time at Air Atlanta

Gagsy we will miss you, you were a credit to your family, a great partner to Jenna, a powerhouse to Garryowen Rugby and a loyal friend to us all

You will never be forgotten

May you rest in peace and may your family find some comfort in the days ahead.

I hope the cowardly scum who did this find some shred of humanity and turn themselves in. I hope they come to feel guilt and remorse - and that applies to anyone who is sheltering them too.

Forget about regeneration and placing these drugdealers and killers into estates where decent people are trying to pay their mortgages and rear their children to behave properly. Wake up and smell the coffee. Its not going to work its going to bring down the whole city. Just pick them up and lock them up.

All my love and sympathy to Shanes family. A genuine guy who was truly loved and cared for by his friends and family.A man who worked and played hard, a man who would have spent his life striving to be the best husband and father he could possibly be.In his place, somewhere in the depths of Limerick City, remains his killer,living and no doubt planning how to do this again.I truly hope that something will be done about it - the gardai know these people but remain at arms length from them. Why? Perhaps they too are afraid to be the one to bring them down. They too are only human and I am sure fear for their families in all of this as well. May God send a ray of hope and light to Shanes family and provide strength to those who may, someday, step up and help put away Shane's killer.

Such a tragic loss

Even though I didnt know Shane or his family, this tragic loss of such a `gentle giant` and upstanding figure in the local community, has shocked and saddened every good living person in this country. Pleas accept my deepest sympathies, you will be in my prayers in the future.

My families sympathy

I now live in Northern Ireland with my family but still have relatons in both Limerick City and County Limerick. I would on behalf of my family like to offer or deepest sympathy to the family of Shane Geoghegan at this most difficult of times and sincerely hope those who murdered him face the full rigors of the law.

Living in N.I everytime I say to friends I am visiting Limerick to visit family or go to a munster game I am greated with shock and disbelief and expressions like 'stab city' etc purely because of what happened to Shane and others and to be honest it hurts me and my family who no longer live in limerick because it is a shame that such a great city and county is condemed because of the few mindless individuals.

Finally once again I would like to offer my deepest sympathy on behalf of my family and hope that something good may come out of shanes murder and the senseless violence and murder will stop

I can not begin to understand how the Geoghan family and shane's friends are feeling at this extremely hard time. From all the stories and reports we have been hearing this man was a gentle, caring, honest person, involved in no wrong doing what so ever and all though i did not know Shane it hurts me that someone has taken this precious life away.

I can only pray that Shane is now at the peace he truly deserves in a better place and i will continue to pray from him and his family. May the long hard road which lays ahead of them be some how smoothened out by the knowledge that Shane's memory will live on in the hearts of thousands of people and they will be forever in so many prayers.

It was with gut wrenching horror and disgust that i learned on Sunday morning of the death of Shane and in the manner his short life was taken. It is now time for people in this Country to wakeup to the real reasons why these murderers are free to kill innocent people on our streets. Until the Government release proper funds to lock these people up in jail, where they belong, instead of having them all commiting crimes while out on bail. My deepest sympathy to Shanes family.

One Memeory that I'l always remember

It was 1995 and I was a first year in the Crescent College Comp and it was my second day, aday that I was not looking forward to. As part of tradition, the newly incoming first years were due a "first year batin".

I remember getting mine off Shane, he ran from one side of the dry-play to the otherto catch me and when he did, I got one of the most horendous dead legs Ive ever gotten. Honest to god, i can remember the pain to this day. I could barely walk for a week afterwards.

Another memory, was the first time I met him, he was 13 and he had a beard...???

Shane was a guy that people would look up to with respect. He will be missed.

When is this government going to wake up? Comparing our country to other countries that have major crime problems is wrong. I'm not much older than Shane, I've lived long enough to see dramatic increases in murder in this country. I think our goverment is pathetic. I'd love the opportunity to speak in Leinster house and berate them all, I'd make them hang their heads in shame. This should never have happened. Too many are getting off with light sentences, all the statistics are there. I have the utmost sympathy for Shane's parents and siblings, but most of all to Shane, who should be here with everyone else.

The Irish people need to stand up and demand action. Besides those that committed this sub-human crime, the blame is squarely at the feet of our justice system that has no-one afraid of it as they can always get off ontechnicalitiesor serve short sentences, also the HSE that are paying our tax money to house these criminals in good areas and putting innocent people at risk and also the do-gooders who campaign for the rights of these people who have no respect for themselves or others. Our prisons are like hotels and they should be hell-holes where people are afraid to go. Wheres the rights of the victims and their families? Wheres our rights to feel safe walking home?

I'm sorry that I didnt know Shane but from what i have read and heard he was one of the most caring, decent and beautiful people of our generation. Bad things should not happen to good pople. This should have been a time of joy for Shane and his family. Christmas approaching. Shane and his girlfriend should be arguing over when to put up the Christmas Tree, not have her thinking on the good times that were.

This is enough already, and the public must now act as the authorities seem not to have the cojones to do much other than sit on their well padded bums and allow anarchy to rule the lives of the people of Ireland..We can do no less.

Hopefully his name will live on, not for the sadness with which he lost his life, but for being the catalyst for much needed change-not only in Limerick, but in Irish society.

Thoughts from a mother and resident of Kilteragh

As a mother to 2 beautiful sons I am sicked by what has happened to that poor innocent boy. As a resident in Kilteragh it has made us afraid to go out at night, for fear that stray bullets may cross our paths. Are we to be made prisoners in our own home? One week our children have played trick or treat, a week later assasins lurk in the dark waiting for unsuspecting targets. It is time for change the local councils and government need to work together and change the laws to make it a safe environment for us and future generations. It can happen. The criminals must pay. The Geoghegans are innocent and they are left to continue in what must be only 'a living hell on earth' after the sudden loss of their beautiful son. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of Shane. God bless and protect you all.

Sympathy for Shane from your cousin in Honduras

Tom and Mary, we are praying that you will find some way to get over this terrible killing of Shane. We have been following the news on the internet and thru´the Limerick Leader. The reaction of the people of Limerick to the drug violence has been incredible and hopefully Shane's death will set off a wave of change to undo the image of Limerick which has been so tarnished in recent years. That would bring at least some small comfort for the loss of your son. Wish I could be there with you but we are with you in spirit.

I have always been a proud limerick man and have always defended our beautiful city in the face of bad press. I cried when I heard of Shanes killing and what has happened to the place I love. While I feel palpable anger when I think of what happened to Shane, now is not a time for anger but for remembrance and reflection on Shanes life. My sincerest condolences to the Geoghegan family and Shanes many friends. However maybe this will be the catalyst for us the people of Limerick to reclaim the place that we hold dear from those few mindless thugs who have sullied the name of our beautiful city and are responsible for such callous killings as we have become used to. The time for talking and politicians pandering and offering fruitless words is over, surely now it is time for action on the part of the politicians, the authorities and the people of Limerick. Let Shanes death not be in vain but instead let it be the catalyst to rid us of this scourge once and for all.

I just want to express my deepest sympathy to the family, fiancé and friends of Shane and voice my absolute disgust and despair and what is going on in limerick at the moment. At this horrific time we must acknowledge that this is not just limericks problem, this is Irelands problem and it must be rectified. We can not see another innocent person taken from us by these cowards. While I appreciate that law enforcement have been working hard over the past couple of years to clamp down on the thugs responsible for this heineous crime, more has to be done to stop this from happening again. Ina senseless act of violence one of limericks finest and promising young men has been ripped from his family. What will it take for this violence to stop?The ball is in the governments court, they cannot protect the identities of these ruthless killers and they need to be brought to justice. 16 convictions in the past 3 years simply isnt good enough. Please Please dont let Shanes death be in vain. If anything good must come out of this tragedy let it be that no one else needs to lose their life at the hands of these animals.

Sympathys from an old friend

I was in school with Shane but over the years lost touch. My memories of him include birthday parties at his house when the family lived in Clounanna. He also helped me score my first schoolyard try.

We went to the Crescent together and, like my own sister Suzanneand his sister Katie, his life ended prematurely. God rest you Shane and may you sleep peacefully, Colum McGrath

The Clock of Life

The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more.
To lose one's soul is such a loss
As no man can restore.

The present only is our own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in 'tomorrow'
For the clock may then be still.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,.
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For to world's morefully of weeping than you can understand.

Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal-chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
from a world more full of weeping than you can understand.

I am a playing member with Enniscorthy RFC and a life member of Banbridge RFC.When I heard the sad news of Shane's passing I was deeply saddened. Rugby is a great game for building committment, comaradarie, discipline and friendships.I feel that many if not all rugby players share this same view.To this end when I almost felt like I knew shane - probably because he is a rugby playing brother.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to Shanes immediate Family,extended Family,Garryowen RFC,close friends,and the people of Limerick who have lost a son,brother,teamate, friend and leader.

All evening I've been thinking about how Shane died and how his people must feel at this terrible time.

It's sickening to think of how Shane was murdered simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. These dirty greedy criminal gangs only think about money and think of nothing at going around gunning people down. I hope they are wound up and justice is served. It may be late for the problem of criminal gangs to be solved but let's hope that Shane's tragic death brings some changes. These criminal gangs have been let get too powerful for too many decades - it's time something be done before another innocent person gets gunned down like Shane.

I hope the people take to the streets to demand action.

I would like to be able to come back in twelve months and tell you that things have changed, that your death was a turning point and that now because of your sacrifice people no longer live in the grip of that over powering sense of fear that suffocates this city. Your memory deserves this and not the bland clichés that our political representatives have trotted out while they wait for our sense of rage to dissipate.

SINCERE SYMPATHY

to Shanes mum, dad and brother, extended family and friends-I cannot imagine the pain and suffering you are going through now, and will in the future - to loose a loved one in such a savage, cowardly, callous act is beyond comprehension. I can only express my deepest sympathy for Shanes loss. I hope the support, thoughts and prayersof the decent people in Limerick, and that of the whole country give you some small bit of solace.

To the decent, honest people of Limerick - it saddens me that such a devastating murder happened on your streets. You have the support of all Irish "human beings" in your efforts of trying to rid your city of the "sub-species" who are terrorising you in your homes. I hope the honesty,unity and strength that I have witnessed and experienced at many a Munster Rugby game will prevail in claiming your city back and ridding it of the small few who have wreaked havoc for years.

mindless murder by the lowest form of life in this country

until the politicians reform the judicial system and stop pandering to do gooders and protect the people of this country who are law abiding nothing will change. these gangland thugs should not be allowed hide behind walls of silence and stick their fingers up at democracy,they should be locked up for this type of crime and never released. i dont see it happening however because our criminal justice system protects these lowlife and gives them more rights than any victims.maye the system has too many lawyers and solicitors making too much money from these lowlife thugs and its not in their interest to change the current system of easy bail and revolving doors

Time to turn the tables on the drug culture

I didn't know Shane but I was so sorry to hear of his death, especially the horrific nature of it. The dreams of his fiancee and family have been cruelly shattered, and his friends have been robbed of one of their own. I offer them all my sincere condolences.

I didn't realise that Limerick was awash with drugs. Who's buying them all? These thugs must have a market, and my guess is that it's the thousands of otherwise "normal people" who think a bit of this or that on the weekend is harmless. But Shane's death shows what a ruthless world they're buying into.

I hope part of Shane's legacy will be a resurgence of societal intolerance for illegal drug use. We seem to have come to a bewildered acceptance that people are using illegal drugs regularly, and they're now quite open about it. I guess it's up to the rest of us to take our courage in our hands and remind them that their choice to buy into that scene has ramifications far beyond the effects on their own health.

Our options as Christians must be to pray. We must pray for the soul of Shane, to pray for his family and friends, and as as difficult as it sounds to say and to write, we must pray for his killers so they will one day see the senseless evil that they have embraced. We live in a time where evil is rampant, but where the compassion and understanding of Christ is there for us, all we have to do is reach out to it. Let us light a candle and not curse the darkness.

Finally we must pray that his killers get caught and that justice is done. Philip. Dublin.

Always a leader to me Shane!

Shane you died a leader – and you will continue to be a leader in my eyes – may you lead us to fight the evil of our society – all through the years I have defended my city – right now I feel no passion, no love for where I was born, instead I feel ashamed, regretful and sad at this new extreme.

We can win rugby game after rugby game – and stand together being the most supportive fans in the world yet we can’t unite together and protect our city against these few greedy families.

What will it take - - more talk!! I think the people of Limerick need to get out on O’Connell Street (like we have done numerous times for our heroes) a united front against these scumbags - they need to know thatthey cannot hold our city down anymore!

Shane may you rest in peace – I know a piece of you is now with us all!! Help us to rid of this evil so no other family has to go through what yours have.

Absolutely shocking and complete sympathy to the family of Shane Geoghegan

It seems absolutely unbelievable that these gangs have taken control of the City of Limerick and are now murdering innocent people. I walked into the City the night Shane was killed from Dooradolye and I think it is chilling that it could just as easily have been me who was shot as him. Its a scandal to see a family burying their young son. In the 1970s and 80s subversives were sent to prison for membership of the IRA on the word of a Garda Superintendent. The people of Limerick should demand the same be done for the members of the Dundon and Keane gangs. I am really concerned about the lack of political action on this from all parties over the years. I was shocked to read today that in2004, Willie O'Dea and then Mayor of Limerick met in the Glentworth hotel and sat down with members of the McCarthy-Dundon gang, the Ryans and the Collopy gang. This only gives these guys legitimacy.

There is no point in regenerating any of Limerick City if the anarchy that is St Mary's Park, Southill and Moyross spills out into Dooradoyle and other respectable estates, where decent people can't walk home at night without the fear of being shot. I grew up in Limerick in the 1970s and 80s and I am completely astonished at what has happened in the City. There were rumours for years of fueds in Southill between the McCarthys, the Ryansand the Keanes and other families,and frankly I blame the guards andpoliticians of all partiesfor not putting a stop to it then.Who will ever forget the picture of Liam Keane giving us all the finger on every national newspaper. What needs to be done now is to clamp down on these villians because it is coming to all of our doors.

Shabby legal system

My deepest sympathies go to Shane's family and friends and to the many other victims of our worthless pseudo legal system.

Twelve years ago, when Veronica Guerin was murdered and the wreaths were laid, quite correctly, at the gates of Leinster House, the Government were forced to wake up, do their duty and begin to deal with criminals.

Since then, however, they have returned to their customary slumber.

We are faced, not only with criminals and a worthless Government but also with a shabby, third-rate, would-be legal system the "servants" of which make money out of representing criminals and have, therefore, a vested interest in escalating crime.

An appalling indictment of our times.

My sincere condolences to all of the Geoghegan family on the appalling murder of Shane. Those behind such a cowardly and appalling murder of an innocent human being must be removed once from society. A concerted effort must now be made to target those responsible for this appalling crime and to deal effectively with the very serious drug gang culture and proliferation of firearms that has resulted in such an appalling act.

It was with great sorrow I listened to the news of Shane Geoghegans death, a young man taken from his Fiance and his mother, father & younger brother. What is happening in this country when the innocent cant be protected, when vicious mindless criminals can have so little regard for God given human life. I am very sure that Shane rests in the peace of heaven, his passing untimely, may his family find comfort in their memories and in the knowledge that the whole of Ireland is with them in thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

I can't make the funneral unfortunatley but my heartfelt thoughts are with the Geoghegan family, Jenna and my family hometown of Limerick. You all deserve better than this. Hopefully the powers that be will use this attrocious murder of a man in his prime as the start to criple these gangs and their way of life. Nothing would be a more fitting tribute.

To the Geoghean family and the people of limerick, my deepest condolences.

In the 21st century and in a supposodly civilised country, again a young man is slaughtered in our streets. We have to watch as drug dealing scum murder friends and loved ones, they act with impunity and we are expected to accept this as just 'life'

We should never have to accept this, never have to wake up to news like this, never should a family have to bury their son because he looked like someone else.

The same dispassion and lack of mercy should be shown to these cowards, they should be afraid and looking over their shoulders, not the reverse.

And when caught, their sentence should be life- meaning just that, LIFE, they should never see daylight again.

Deepest sorrow

It is with deep regret that I am writing this....to think that such a fine man was brutally robbed of his life by people who think of nothing and nobody but themselves....I hope the family of Shane find comfort in the knowledge that their son was by all accounts a noble man, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

I can't believe this has happened. Like everyone else from Limerick I'm disgusted and shocked that such a vibrant young life could be taken so recklesly and without a thought.

My thoughts and prayers are with Shane's family and friends

We are shamed as Irish people

This spineless and shocking murder shames all of us that call ourselves Irish as we have allowed the creation of the enviroment for this to happen .For a young man to have his life taken walking home from a rugby match should be the long over due wake up call for all of us that now no one can be free from the omnipresecent threat and horror of sporadic and indiscriminate violence.if ever there was a time to utilise the words of that song

STAND UP AND FIGHT !!!---USE YOUR VOICES NOW
