“Breaking news from Limerick District Court today…Judge Eugene O’Kelly [above] accepted an application from An Garda Siochana to withdraw civil order applications issued earlier in the year for anti-social behaviour (ASBO’s) against eight Romanian women allegedly involved in prostitution in Limerick city. Allegations of coercion, control and trafficking were made by defending Solicitor Darach McCarthy and accepted by Judge O’Kelly. Judge O’Kelly pointed to flaws in legislation and suggested that the demand for prostitution should be tackled rather than target the victims. Doras Luimní and the Red Ribbon Project were at court this morning to make a formal statement illustrating our concerns.”

POPE JOHN PAUL DIES RELIGIOUS SCENES PEOPLE PRAYINGThere may be pray.

Members of a religious group from east Limerick have begun saying a decade of the rosary several nights a week outside a suspected brothel in the city to “pray for the women” in prostitution.

The group, which does not wish to be identified, is inviting the public to join them in prayer on Upper William Street, outside a premises where they believe Romanian women are being forced to work as prostitutes.

“We’re praying for the girls. A lot of them are poor, from Eastern Europe and have come here expecting jobs and a better life. We’re not against the women per se – they are somebody’s children. It’s also not good for business here,” said one man, who regularly prays outside the premises.

The rosary will continue on unspecified week nights at around 5.30pm and at the weekend at 8pm, he said.

Not only does it have beauty, but it also has Ireland’s largest private wine cellar. It can hold more than 55,000 bottles and not only that. The wine cellar can be accessed from any floor of the house by spiral stair cases. Hic.

It would be great if you could post this. Limerick gets a bad rap and heres a great bunch of young people asking for a bit of help so they can keep doing what they love.
There is a small army in Limerick trying to change the entire image of the city particularly with the City of Culture 2014 initiative. But that’s just a brand, there are long term goals for a lot of people.
I am sure most of the country are hoping Limerick messes it all up but who doesn’t love an underdog?

Thus creating a hole in the ground sufficient to fashion a small city.

Good times.
