I think we should light it and leave it sufficiently close to the bridge that scummers will try to jump onto it but far enough away that they fall into the river and get swept out to into the estuary.

idea of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

it has my vote anyway

They should decorate it with cans of Carling, packets of Johnny Blue and the latest Nike runners to entice the scum to leap off the bridge towards it.

Limerick City Council have to be the greatest collection of inept uneducated morons ever assembled under one roof. Id like to know if it was our racist xenophobia suffering mayor who decided that we should put a xmas tree that cost the city €50,000 into a river that is about to burst its banks and resembles closely white water rapids as apposed to its normal calm flow. This hilarious act of incompetence has cost the city a fortune.

Well said. A collection of inept clowns.

The tree now has a 2012 kinda theme now.

Two Cussen cranes have been working for the morning - the top section has been removed and landed.

I think so too. In my opinion, they want to save the construction, at the risk of human life and health. Yesterday it should be cut and towed to shore. At night.

I reckon it was a cunning attempt by the Mayor to take out the bridge so as to stop any more foreigners arriving in the city via shannon airport.

And I wanted to forgive mayor....... :mad:

Just an old photo of it

Do my eyes deceive me or are they starting to put the bloody thing back together?



Looking a bit battered in this one.

Sure hope this time they secure it, would not want it toppling over
and hitting a car should they decide to leave it on dry land.

I saw a few lads working on it last week as well. Hopefully they will fix the thing, as it's not too shabby to look at when it's lit up properly.

The lights have been checked and the pontoon fixed - seems to me they're going to put it back in the river. To be honest, there's a lot of slack water downstream of the dock. I think that while the strong current certainly hampered efforts to free the tree, they may not have been responsible for it coming loose in the first place (unless it was towed out into the faster water, not too sure on that aspect)
