AN EXTRA €50,000 will be available to Limerick City and County Council this Christmas to help fund Christmas lights and markets.
The funding has been allocated by the Department of Planning and Local Government in recognition of the challenges local businesses face.
Limerick Minister of the Office of Public Works, Kieran O’Donnell, has welcomed the funding, saying “this is going to be a great opportunity for businesses in our local towns and villages to draw people into the town to shop local and share the Christmas spirit with their neighbours and friends.
“Rural Ireland is full of life, but that life needs to be supported,” Minister O’Donnell said.
