New look Limerick Yearbook hits the shelves across the county this week

WELCOME to the Limerick Yearbook 2024 - a snapshot of the moments that defined the past 12 months and sparked conversations across our communities in the county and the city.

This year was one of historic milestones, remarkable achievements, and unforgettable events for Limerick, with both local and international highlights filling these pages.

In a groundbreaking moment for Irish politics in June, Limerick elected its first-ever directly elected mayor, John Moran, marking a new era in local governance.

On the sports front, Limerick took centre stage once again in the Munster final, with our hurlers producing an electrifying performance to achieve six provincial titles in a row - the first county to ever achieve such a feat. Off the field, hurling star Cian Lynch and his partner Dayna Slattery welcomed beautiful twin boys.

Local pride reached further afield, too, with our Olympians and Paralympians representing Ireland on the world stage, making us all so proud to call them one of our own.

The year also saw an emotional call for justice from Natasha O'Brien, whose protests brought national attention to sentencing and victim rights. Limerick’s spirit of resilience was also evident in the lively celebrations of Riverfest and the Regeneron Great Limerick Run, which filled the May Bank Holiday with fun and festivities by the Shannon. And, as Hollywood came calling, a celebrity couple enjoyed the scenic fairways at Adare Manor.

From milestones to moments of joy, this yearbook captures the heart of 2024 in Limerick. Thanks to all our readers and advertisers for your invaluable support over the past 12 months as we look forward to a new year and a new chapter for our great county and city.
