Oman Moving & Storage in Ireland has provided logistics support for the Hares on the March 2016 project in aid of the Jack & Jill Foundation. The hares were on display around Dublin until 29 February before being sold in a live online auction. The 110, 3ft-high hares have been created by some of the most talented Irish artists.

“We received a 40ft rigid truck full of plinths and hares, these had to be unloaded by hand then loaded into one of the two vans involved in the distribution/installation process,” said Dave Southern from Jack and Jill Foundation. “We were lucky enough to have a band of ten or so volunteers to assist with the unloading of the truck. Once the truck was unloaded we filled up the vans with between 10 - 13 plinths and hares and set off to undertake the installation process. We decided to deliver hares to shops, galleries and work places during the day and hotels and shopping centres during the night.”

Distributing the hares to 52 venues around Dublin took four days and nights. To adopt or sponsor a hare or find out more about Hares on the March go to: http://www.haresonthemarch.ie/index.html#services
