He spent much of his childhood around Silvermines and in his later years around Carney.

Nenagh publican Philly Ryan told Tipp FM that Shane was a regular at the pub on Silver Street.

“It was his go-to place to switch off and just be one of the boys at the bar. Loved to play a game of pool there and just be a regular and blend in. If we ever ran anything, he was a great contributor to any gigs or do’s and he’d even sing a song and if we had a bit of music there he was a great friend of the musician.”

Philly says Shane was very proud of his Tipperary heritage.

“Very proud of Tipperary – we’d give him a hard time – but he was a proud Shannon Rovers man . He loved Carney, Commons and that’s where it all came out of. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, they were at some session and somebody said sing a Tipperary song and rather than sing Slievenamon he (Shane) sang The Broad Majestic Shannon, probably one of the great Tipperary songs and we’ll have it for all times.”
