The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Francis Foley said:
“As the school holidays begin, ‘Summer at Honan’s Quay’ gives people an additional space to enjoy in a key riverside location at the heart of Limerick city. The planned activities, street games and fun days will all add to a festive feeling in the city throughout the summer months. This is a great initiative and I hope to see people take full advantage of this space.”
Director of Service for Planning, Environment and Place-Making, Vincent Murray said:
“This exciting Public Realm initiative will showcase and promote the use of this riverside site.
The planned events will create a festive atmosphere for both young and old to enjoy. Last year the ‘Limerick Urban Forest’ event was well received by the public and we will replicate and improve upon this success.”
The road at Honan’s Quay will be closed from June 1st to September 1st to promote safe public use and enjoyment of this riverside site.
