Matters Regarding Limerick 🏙️ (Part 2)

My mother gave Art lessons for years. The crusty artsy types are always the toughest to get a few bob out of. 5 weeks in to 12 and still haven’t paid type shit. Bring their sister, girlfriend, brother, father along to a class for free type shit.

Was at a removal in Thompsons Sunday evening. Walk past that Crew place, loads of people there, had drinks in their hands, but no one was actually DRINKING. These fuckers would be 5 minutes between sips. Then they wonder why the likes of Dwyer’s (where they used to play their music) closed.

Sounds like they had no one to run it with the manager retiring. You’d have thought they were doing ok. Maybe someone might take it on.

That’s a shame

Hey lads. A bit of a random one…

My charity is organising an education event in Limerick (Mary Immaculate College) in a couple of weeks and we are looking to get some media coverage for it. Media coverage helps our case significantly. See here for more details. Would anybody know of journalists in Limerick that I could reach out to?

Maria is sound out and happy to help no doubt.

Thanks @BruidheanChaorthainn. Should you happen to have her email you might PM me.

Have you asked Holly (Cowan)? She’s sound out… i presume you’ve been dealing with her a bit? @caulifloweredneanderthal might know one or two also and he might even pop in to your event if there’s free food.

Also, while not a journo, he does a lot of social media videos that get good views and he might be interested- Richard Lynch from ilovelimerick.

There’s a contact us option on the website

I know… but if he gave it a bit of attention how bad.

Yes Holly is actually on our board and helping to organise it. We want and need a decent crowd at it so all and any links greatly appreciated…and there is free food!

The Piquant lads have also taken student(s) from MIC for work placement too so have a good link to the college.

Conor and Kev are dead on and very good at what they do.
