This whole thing was doomed from the beginning. The mayor has no real power.
I don’t think it should be scrapped though, they need to fix it and give the mayor power and halve the number of councillors nationwide
And call the castle by it’s correct name.

State papers, both in Dublin and London, say otherwise, fucko.
State papers of the oppressor?
You’d swallow a hammer you Clare Cnut
They’re called primary sources.
I think the oppressor is more inclined to role with King John than not don’t you think?
How’s your rubby museum, you vandil?
Tis a gorgeous building.
A fiiting location to celebrate the women of Ireland.
It replaced a ball of shit that lay vacant for 20 years. If you and your likes had their way we would still be living in tenements.

Shur maybe we revert to Georges Street instead of O’Connell Street in Limerick . Sackville street in Dublin - That’s what the state papers in London and Dublin Castle called them.
Good point. That’s the obvious follow on from @kyle’s argument. Next will be rejoining the Commonwealth. He’s advocated leaving the EU too. This is the thin end of the wedge.

Keep moving the goal posts… i have you lads scattering like the Williamites you adore.
No one is disputing the names of streets fucko. They were officially named by the state.
John Ferrar came up with king John’s castle out of thin air and you lads seem welded to it for some bizarre reason.
We’ll have our day tho.
Someone take the shovel out of @kyle 's hands ,
I’m only pointing out the folly of you argument.
Generations of Limerick people call it King Johns Castle - I’ll go with that.

Odd that because I’d say the Mayor is a blue shirt to his fingertips.

The castle is owned and managed by the state, right?
The women of Limerick defended the walls of Limerick and Limerick castle against the williamite army… only for you to throw it back in their face and run with the name of King John as named by the Williamites…

They call it that because they were browbeaten by the likes of Ferrar and the upwardly mobile middle classes with notions like you.
The people deserve to know their real history. And you can tear down as many historic buildings as you want to, to hide it - we’ll never stop.
No.
I’m certain that Limerick city Council owns it through their business arm Limerick DAC or something like that. Shannon Heritage used to own it alright.
The council is the state.
