Why canāt I do both?
Jaysus that is ridiculous
Imagine the houses they couldāve with all the money spent on this and the museum.
Business in town wants lower rates and free parking really anyway.
Theyāve loads of prime real estate lying idle where they could build houses if they wanted to. Most of their numerous master plans contain very little provision for housing.
The supposed jewel in the crown, the Opera Quarter, has hardly any accommodation. The small bit that is being developed was only included after some negative press.
Itās bizzare that they canāt see the way to save a city centre is to have people actually living and working in it.

Is the Limerick run part of riverfest? Is it not private run under the guise of charity put itās a pure money making exercise and nothing to do with riverfest?
It is a private company and the original organisers have sold it to another company. But you could say the same about the concerts in the castle. They are run by Mick Dolan but still form part of the weekend.
Thereād be fuck all happening if it was left to the council to organise everything.
So the Regeneron sponsorship money isnāt going to the council. By God
Tom, Tom, Tom. Hopefully they didnāt ask him his views on the gays or abortion.

No, itās a common misconception. A lot of people are under the impression the money goes to the āCharity Partnerā but that doesnāt happen either.

Iām pretty sure one of the original organisers is actually a councillor.
I donāt get your definition of Riverfest in that case, isnāt it just a heap of companies making profit?
The run brings in thousands of people, so Iād say itās the jewel in the crown of the May weekend events
Thatās what I meant to say, the angry lad thinks itās my fault heās stuck in traffic on his occasional sojourn into town
A Limerick festival wouldnāt be complete without Hermitage Green

and the van selling the chips with gravy.
The run clogs up the city, the participants spend fuck all money and shag off home. Thereās far more they could do with the city centre than letting a few thousand attention seekers take the city hostage.

None of that is true but I know better than to bother when youāve contrariness on your mind 
Dead right, runners and cyclists are the scum of gods earth.
Canāt the cunts run around a field somewhere and not be annoying people with their vanity endeavours

The city needs a Munster rubby resurgence. Those scenes on the streets in 2006/8 will never be topped. The local economy will struggle to sustain a dozen Flannerys otherwise
