Cllr. Jim Long, Mayor of Limerick

"Limerick is just waiting to be discovered this Christmas offering a dazzling selection of shopping opportunities and we extend a warm welcome to all our visitors set to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Treaty City this festive season.

Remember there’s free on-street parking from 2pm every Friday and Saturday during December so happy shopping!

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and welcome to Limerick!"

Celia Holman Lee, Model Agent

"I’m planning to do all my Christmas shopping here in Limerick, I love browsing through the independent shops particularly in the boutique district in the heart of Limerick city finding that unique gift and of course a little treat for myself!

There’s nothing like Limerick city during the festive season with a dazzling array of Christmas lights, lots of shops to choose from, a wonderful atmosphere surrounded by my family and catching up with friends I haven’t seen in a long time, it’s my favourite time of year!

I’m always so busy during December travelling to the four corners of the country with work so it’s great that I can come home to Limerick and know that I can do all my Christmas shopping right here in the city centre.

It leaves me with enough time to enjoy all the festivities with my family which is what this time of year is all about."
