A MAJOR clean-up day for Limerick City and County was launched on Tuesday by rugby legend Paul O’Connell.
Team Limerick Clean-up (TLC), is an initiative sponsored by the JP McManus Benevolent Fund, and supported by Limerick City and County Council.
The scheme will be urging all members of the public to get together on Good Friday, April 3 to collect and recycle litter in their local area in an effort to tidy up the city and county. A public information campaign will be rolled out over the coming months.
Commenting at the launch, the Irish rugby captain said; “This has to be one of the most exciting campaigns ever to hit Limerick, and we hope people will come out in force to do their bit to clean up the environment.”
Sue Ann Foley, Chairperson of the JP McManus Benevolent Fund said; “We are delighted to sponsor the TLC initiative and we hope that as many people as possible will get involved to make this a real ‘team event’.”
Volunteers can sign-up on www.teamlimerickcleanup.ie or call 061 496200; email address, tlc@limerick.ie. Clean-up packs will be available for all those who register from February 2015 from outlets around the city and county.
