MAYOR of the City and County of Limerick Daniel Butler will host a ceremony of Remembrance and Reflection in the courtyard of Merchant’s Quay this Sunday 10 April at 1pm.
The ceremony will remember those who died during the Covid-19 pandemic and pay tribute to those who contributed to the fight against the virus, locally and nationally.
Limerick’s ceremony will mirror the national Remembrance ceremony that was held in Dublin on Sunday, 20 March. There will be readings, reflection and music at the ceremony, with members of the public invited to attend.
The ceremony will also include contributions from the main faiths across Limerick, a special wreath laying ceremony and reflective readings and song and an address from the Mayor.
This ceremony will represent an opportunity for the people of Limerick to pause and reflect on all those who have been affected by, or lost their lives, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Over 6,000 people have died in Ireland due to the Covid-19 virus.

Mayor Daniel Butler said: “The past two years has been a very difficult time for many. We have lost many people and our lives have been severely hampered due to the pandemic.
“This ceremony is a time for us to reflect on the past two years and how our lives have changed as a result and how we came together as communities to help each other.
“It also gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to all the frontline workers across all sectors of society for their dedication and hard work throughout the pandemic and indeed now as we learn to live with the virus.”
