Cleanup planned for Tuesday, October 19
AHEAD of the expected influx of 50,000 visitors to Limerick over the October Bank Holiday weekend, a ‘deep clean’ has been organised to ensure that the city is at its gleaming best.
On that weekend, the city will host the International Test Series between Ireland and Australia at the Gaelic Grounds, the official opening of the new Greyhound Stadium and Munster taking on Treviso at Thomond Park,
as well as Shelbourne FC’s visit to Jackman Park, the city is expected to be particularly busy.
With support from the city council who will add extra resources to its cleaning schedule, business are being encouraged to play their part for the initiative by cleaning outside their premises on the morning of Tuesday, October 19.
Mayor Maria Byrne is rallying behind the campaign, and wants the city looking spic -and- span
“Significant resources are invested in street cleaning in the city each year, and to complement this investment. I am asking all sectors of the community to display their civic pride and dispose of their litter correctly,” she said.
“I am inviting the business community in particular to demonstrate their support of this anti litter initiative by cleaning up outside their own premises at 12 noon.
“Thousands of visitors will be in Limerick over the October Bank Holiday weekend and it’s in all our interests to have our city looking its best.
“Portraying a positive image will encourage visitors to return and the city council would like to thank the businesses who already regularly clean up outside their premises.
“And remember; love Limerick, don’t litter”.
