Mayor praises ‘Limerick spirit’ ahead of big clean-up

The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick is wishing the thousands of people who have volunteered for this yearโ€™s Team Limerick Clean-Up (TLC) the very best of luck this Good Friday.

Cllr Kieran Oโ€™Hanlon said: โ€œTLC is one of the best events ever devised.ย  It is all about community and the strength of communities across Limerick.ย  It is about taking pride in where you live and wanting it to be better.

โ€œIt is a credit to the thousands of people who are willing to give up their Good Friday morning to clean up their areas.ย  They are showing true Limerick spirit.

โ€œCredit is due to the JP McManus Benevolent Fund, Paul Oโ€™Connell and Limerick City and County Council for funding and co-ordinating this great initiative, Mr Binman, Live95FM and Limerick Leader have been fantastic supporters of it.
