School of Music..Peter Dee's? Both should, but might be full!

You could always try Parkour in Limerick!

Great input there mate...

I look forward to the ice rink at x mass and the pernament one at the parkway retail park.

[Armada]

Is there or will there be a permanent ice rink at the parkway retail park?

[Jumpy]

Its got planning permission, if it starts up I wouldnt mind seeing if I can put together a speed skating team.
I have contacts with skate and boot makers from my time doing it in australia.
Anyone know who to contact to confirm whos going to be running it?

i'm from limerick, and always get amused at the way the press/people go on the defensive anytime limerick gets slightly criticised. I do ask a question. Why would a tourist stay in Limerick city for more than 1 day?
it's come on a lot and is new (buildings) etc etc, but as for sights in the city, there's not a whole lot though, in all seriousness...??

agree / disagree. has some cool watering holes though..

and dont mention rugby either, cos not everyone who visits is into it..

Well Limerick has a lot of history, The Castle, the walking tour, Limerick City Muesum and the Georgian House Museum and St. Marys Cathedral. The city also has other points of interest such as the Hunt Museum, Angelas Ashes tour, shopping, night life... plus the real draw its the location with Bunratty, Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Adare all so close, the city makes for a great base!

[BarryCreed]

yeah, a great base for viewing places of interest not in Limerick City. That's my point. I dunno, it's great on one hand to have a new city, new buildings, but is it at the expense of something else...

that angleas ashes tour is funny too. I always pass tourists up the o connell avenue side of town, with their angleas ashes booklets , looking for places that dont exist anymore...!!

Here's something for kids/teenagers.

There's an outdoor screening of 'Into the West' on Thomas Street on Sunday 9th March, I think, but here is the gen on the Festival proper:

I already visit the Hunt Museum two times !
The first, with my boyfriend, an the second with my father. He came form France for 2 days.

It's really small, but it's interessing too ! I like this museum because it's cosy and you can take your time to see everything. Sometimes, the guide come to explain you something about a painting for example.

What's cool is that it's free all sundays ^^
