I've said it before and I'll say it again. Urban art can fundamentally change the feel of a space for the better. Congrats to all involved and let's try to do more of this
#limerick
Ashamed but equally proud to say I just completed my first ever 10km run.
Almost 4 weeks off cigarettes too (after 20 year habit).
Covid is doing good things to me
#positivity
#Limerick
Thread: Credit where credit due to those in
@LimerickCouncil
responsible for newly installed lighting on waterfront.
Timeless, elegant and welcoming.
Strong argument for keeping these all year round
#limerick
Got a sneak preview of Melody, an exciting new
#limerick
coffee shop, foodie space and vinyl venue
Have a feeling this might be here for a while yet! Even without people this place has soul!
Opens today at 10.30am located just off Foxes Bow
#limerick
The title and first 4 paragraphs of this Forbes profile of
@patrickc
and
@collision
are nothing short of appalling
Limerick has come a long way and this type of ignorant journalism is harmful on many levels
Ladies and gentlemen, as has indeed been reported there are a series of spoons and forks tied to poles running the length of Thomas St
I want to curl up and die
#limerick
As a mark of respect, a book of condolence for
#DoloresORiordan
will be opened
@LimerickCouncil
Corporate Headquarters at Merchant’s Quay in Limerick tomorrow (Tuesday 16 Jan 2018) at 10am.
Imagine having to resort to putting seating outside your outside seating area
These are a failure and those who conceived them should be ashamed
#Limerick
My mother's partner lives in Lahinch.
She lives in Limerick.
Haven't seen each other for a month to protect themselves & others.
If you are thinking a nice weekend in your pads in Lahinch or Kilkee is a good idea, please think again.
You are being selfish and irresponsible
Super news-
@LimerickCouncil
to waive charges to business for outdoor seating for rest of yr
Parklets introduced with O'Connell St and Catherine St initially
Additional seating areas also to be provided incl Bedford Row, Thomas St & City Quays.
Increased floral displays
Well done to Rocky and the team at the Commercial bar. Not only gave they given life back to a beautiful building, they are now installing lush hanging baskets. Kudos
The big reveal as O'Connors Butchers show off the work done on their new building. Really beautifully done with upper levels renovated also. More of this
#limerick
Finally we may see Cruises St with a covered structure
Opportunity to give street new lease of life.
Some new restaurants, bars, gyms & wellness centres along that stretch could be the answer
#limerick
Here's
@eiretharlear
and
@MickbradleyLMK
2019 concept idea for street
Yesterday a young man was told he had no job over the coming wks.
His work
@Limerick_Leader
was superb
As health correspondent he was immense. His general election mapping was superb.
He brings passion & dedication to local journalism
@FintanYTWalsh
I salute you
Dear Limerick of tomorrow. Please, please can we learn from the mistakes of yesterday. Friday 8.25pm. Not a soul on the street that was once supposed to be our city's new heart.
Credit due to
@LimerickCouncil
for taking decision to install clear glass on Bedford Row and Thomas St.
Already the use of planting and extra elements by individual cafes and bars is making an impact and adding to sense of place on street
Was worth the heated debate 😊
This is my dream for my little haven spot during summer in
#limerick
Medieval themed movies projected onto wall of King John's Castle at night when weather is suitable
Starting with Richard Harris in Camelot
Had a vivid childhood memory today
Anyone in
#limerick
remember the man on Gerald Griffin St who use to weave baskets in the door of a tiny little shop?
Was always fascinated by him. Would love to know who he was
Wow. Seems that Limerick Council have ordered owners of the Horizon Mall/Parkway Valley site to demolish the current structure using the Derelict sites act. Work must be complete in 6 months. Has to be good news. What happens with the site going forward is another story
#limerick
The more I pass these new additions the more I get angry
The idea that €750k from Failte Ireland to enhance city experience resulted in this is a travesty
Second picture is my fave street. Simple. Open. Welcoming
No Failte in our overly-engineered, frosted cages
#limerick
Had the pleasure of getting a sneak preview of No.9 The Crescent today.
Quite simply a remarkable restoration of a Georgian
#limerick
building.
An example of what can be achieved with great vision, commitment to delivery and pride of place
I left with a big smile on my face!
Kudos to owner &
@healypartners_
for bringing these two buildings on Barrington St back to life following fire
What's even better is building on right (once commercial) is now home to 5 apartments over 5 floors
Cant wait to see end result
#limerick
Despite years of neglect it's fantastic to see Nicholas St boast some new locally created business. The redevelopment of
@KingJohnsCastle
by
@shannonheritage
has played big role in this
Imagine if for 3 wks in December we took King's Island from
@stmaryslimerick
up Nicholas St to
@KingJohnsCastle
& transform it into medieval winter wonderland
Markets, river light shows, concerts, Carol services, Santa, food & beer
Invest, get sponsors & put
#limerick
on map
How in the name god did I not know you could hike from Condell Rd all way towards Bunratty and keep on riverside?
Another walking revelation this eve
This is the world class waterfront we need to develop
#Limerick
Last week I received a call from an individual linked to 'official Limerick' telling me I needed to 'apply more journalistic principles to my use of Twitter'
I'm now aware of 2 others also receiving warnings about their Twitter use
Hmm, are we doing something right?
Those who don't live in town prob have no idea how lovely it was to stroll through every morning over past three months.
Now we are back to dealing with this. And I can guarantee you that not one of the occupants of these vehicles is spending a penny in town
#limerick
Imagine if
@UL
's new riverside location also resulted in part of our waterfront becoming a focal point for green space, recreation and sport. Student presence, education and healthy living opportunities in one downtown location
#limerick
#dreams
Was so good to see Potato used as a 'venue' last night
12 hours later its back to being a no go area.
Bank holiday weekend. Tourists wandering the bridge to nowhere
We need to get out act together on this simple stuff
#limerick
In 2014 our then Minister for the arts dismissed this as “some puppet show”
It cost about the same as 10 parklets
Isnt it time we stopped allowing philistines and those with little creative brain matter making decisions about what makes our city tick?
#limerick
I've always loved
#limerick
's lanes and back streets. Foxes Bow and Augustinian Lane are great examples of how they can be used well. We really should focus on bringing more of our lanes back to life offering character and intimacy to the urban experience
Home after a day of treatment. Feeling relaxed thanks to Pat Keogh, of
@KeoghChauffeur
Pat heard me on
@morningireland
talking about driving to
@svuh
for treatment. He got in touch to offer to drive me up and back.
Thank you does not cover your amazingly kind gesture, Pat ❤
Vacancy rate up to 60% above first floor in Georgian Limerick
To quote
@ecoeye
- Imagine 4000-6000 extra people living in our city centre comfortably
Suddenly retail, hospitality and entertainment relying on cars to provide customers becomes a thing of past
So exciting
I walk every inch of the city and never fail to come across something new
This stopped me in my tracks. What a lovely way to be remembered after a long life well lived
#limerick
Let me introduce you to Snakes and Lattes - cafe concept with no alcohol, no wifi, no bells and whistles
What it does have is board games. And lots of them.
If I had a business brain I'd get them to Cruises St
#limerick
in a heartbeat
If you want a summer read that will keep you page turning till the early hours then I highly recommend
@Billbrowder
's Red Notice. Chilling & disturbing account of a brave man's mission to take on Putin. his London office was next door to mine in 2008. Eerie
Covid Corner update:
1st photo was week one of lockdown as I tried to figure how to save a garden
2nd photo is this evening after I ate dinner al fresco.
Pretty proud of it. And it's given me hours of happiness
#limerick
Another
#limerick
shopfront that raises the bar
I wonder how feasible it would be to develop and implement a shopfront guide and strategy for the city?
A little bit of incentive and subtle enforcement could go a long way
Just spent 2 hours in park playing ball with 6 dogs, a Polish family, a family from Latvia, a retired couple from Limerick, a man who just returned from Australia and a couple who moved here from India 2 years ago. All living in city. All now knowing each other's names
#parklife
Isn't it sad to think that a site of this size in the heart of Ireland's 3rd city has been used as a car park for years?
Surely there is a better use?
#limerick
Isnt it utterly bizarre that our relatively bland civic offices shine like a beacon at night yet our medieval castle sits in darkness?
Simple fix folks
