"We have an increasing number of customers coming from outside the greater Limerick area and find the experience exceptionally rewarding. They are surprised at how national perceptions distort what quality services, products and attractions are available in the City. We find the potential for growth greater here than elsewhere and once the Orbital route, the Southern Ring Road and Tunnel are completed, Limerick will finally come centrestage."

Architect
"What I love about Limerick is the beauty of its riverside in the heart of the city and its everchanging moods and movements ,from acrobatic canoeists defying the cascades of the waterfalls at low tide to single sculls gliding past serene swans drifting on the fullness of a flat silver calm , with the extraordinary background of generations of fine architecture and the uplifting vista of the Clare hills in the distance .Urbs antiqua fuit .Not to mention the rugby!"
