Handball alleys were common across Ireland as spaces for the Gaelic game of handball.
This site was one of a number of venues for the 29th edition of EVA in 2005, curated by Dan Cameron (b. 1956, USA).
A screening event took place on 15 March 2005 to launch a participatory Young EVA project led by Aileen Lambert (b. 1975, Ireland) and Michael Fortune (b. 1975, Ireland), titled The Banshee Lives in the Handball Alley (2005).
The video The Banshee Lives in the Handball Alley consisted of an archival collection of local stories told by the fourth and fifth classes of three Limerick schools: St Munchin’s Boys School, St Mary’s Girls School and St Mary’s Boys School.
The video was subsequently made available as a DVD, an audio clip taken from the full DVD can be listened to here.
