Not every day that the announcement of a major investment by a French company in county Limerick makes reference to the historical ties between France and Limerick that we have been celebrating annually since 2019! Welcome to Limerick @NEOEN_Energy!

Today in 1691..
The Signing of the Treaty of Limerick took place ending
the 1689 to 1691 Williamite War in Ireland.
(Chunks of the Treaty Stone were often chipped off by souvenir hunters until it was raised on a pedestal in 1865.)

So sorry to hear this! @PigtownLimerick is such a great festival. As another festival organised by volunteers, we fully understand the @LimerickFoodGrp’s decision. Inclusive, community-led festivals cannot survive in the long run without meaningful support from @LimerickCouncil
