Call me crazy (cos I am... obviously... with sociopathological tendencies) but I don't think a monorail is that daft an idea. It was only a couple weeks back where I was reading something (in The Post I believe) suggesting a light rail system for the city. Why not a monorail?

No but you seem everywhere. CIE workers are particularly partial to Superking 100.
Is smoking an essential qualification for CIE?

Hopefully a nice burrito to be gotten.

Limerick is really the nearest stop for a good burrito, I wouldn't eat in Casa Del Burrito in Ennis unless I was in urgent need of shedding a few pounds through food poisoning.

Whilst you wait for the mono train after doing your M&S shopping.

It's good to see they are still using the name Katie Dalys. Also the antique shop across from Tracys has supposedly been bought by Tracys and will be a bakery. Also heard that Bill Nolan is supposedly selling Dick Devane's (now Nellys Corner) and the apartments above it, if true hopefully whoever buys it keeps the cafe there and actually does something worthwhile with the apartments.

Nellys corner #1 restaurant in limerick according to tripadvisorðŸ€

I think it is. You'd think they'd use a better pic of the city.

I passed through the 'fashion quarter' in Roches Street last night. It took 6 seconds, and I was walking!:D

I've no idea as I didn't hear it being announced then. Must be a slow news day at breakingnews.

They were reporting unconfirmed rumors two weeks ago, now they're reporting the actual announcement.

About 2 seconds longer than it takes to get through Galway's Latin quarter.

Always seems busier, I often think the narrow streets help create a buzz and that the crowd gets lost in Limerick, plus a lot more going on, permanent party.
Saying that I was Limerick on Saturday and thought it was very busy and buzzy.

There has been a nice buzz around town for the past few weeks. We try to get into and around town at least once over the weekend and leave a few bob in there. I hate going to the shopping centres and doing the same thing. I'm very concious of spending my money in town and helping to keep it alive rather than the any souless out of town place. If more people did that, the buzz would increase.

I see Harry Corry are advertising for staff for their new Ennis Road Retail Park shop...and saw ads for Superdry opening in the Crescent on jobs.ie recently.

(can you tell I'm job hunting ;-) )

+1. There's been a great buzz around Limerick of late. I've had friends visiting me the last few weekends and they couldn't get over how vibrant and busy it was. There does appear to be more shops opening in the city centre of late which is great to see

New cafe opened today next to SuperValu. Cafe also open today in former Triple Crown on Athlunkard Street.

I was in Galway a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday and it was very busy but it was very clear 70-80% of the people on the street, sitting outside the bars/cafes were tourists & non locals in general -without their presence it would have made a great difference in the vibrancy of the city centre - Cork has a similar vibe.

Unfortunately Limerick just doesn't get tourists which is unfortunate considering it has it's own strengths - King Johns castle, the river, extensive Georgian architecture etc.

Drop the number of tourists Galway has on an average Saturday in Limerick and it would make an obvious difference in both footfall & atmosphere.
