Munster Rugby and Lions star

“There is a massive buzz and a great social scene here. My rugby friends in Cork and Dublin think Limerick is brilliant; there are so many students and young people. You look at Limerick the weekend of a Munster game, you could nearly take a holiday here in the middle of winter from a Friday to a Sunday evening, it is just an incredible weekend.” Read more by Paul O’Connell

A Vivid Imagination Art Exhibition at Limerick City Gallery of Art

A Vivid Imagination (Art Exhibition)

16th January – 4th March 2012
Limerick City Gallery of Art, Carnegie Building, Pery Square, Limerick

A Vivid Imagination invited over 40 people who have been closely associated with LCGA to select pieces from the Collection which particularly engage them.

The title references Sean Keating’s speech when awarded Freedom of the City on the launch of the West Gallery extension in March 1948.

Keating praised Limerick Corporation for it’s foresight to inaugurate a municipal gallery and expressed his impression of Limerick as 'a city of dignity and manners', whose 'people had a vivid imagination and only needed a vivid vocabulary to be entirely distinctive'. 1
