The Country is starting to reopen and the Pigtown Listings is back to help guide through what’s going on in Limerick. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be covering a mix of face-to-face events and virtual events organised by Limerick people.
A lot of Restaurants, Hotels, Pubs, Cafes, and other businesses are in the process of opening up. While this is great to see, please be patient with staff, maintain your social distance, wear your mask, and wash your hands. Don’t forget to continue supporting Limerick businesses through Lean On Me
