Christmas funding — The Light Up Limerick Processing will kick off on November 22, led out by LUXe Theatre who will illuminate the Christmas lights in they city as they go.

FIANNA Fáil councillor Catherine Slattery questioned Limerick City and County Council on why it did not provide an in-person ceremony to switch on the Christmas lights in Limerick City this year.

Cllr Slattery was informed by the executive at November’s full meeting of the local authority that a number of Christmas events have been programmed across the county and city throughout the month of December, but not a formal lighting ceremony for the city.

“It was decided that there would be no switch on event for Christmas 2024,” Council management replied.
