    I can't believe that its that long since the treaty stone was moved. I thought it was only moved in the late 90s. I remember the uproar around town when it happened.

    Another interesting article was was the one that said 1800 jobs created in the mid west in in the first three quarters of 1989 which was in line with the numbers from the previous year. Limerick could do with even half that now.

    Great memories, looking at it now it looks like most businesses that took out an ad in The Post were cursed, not many of them going today... Those house prices look a bit wierd as well :-)

    99p for a can of Carling in Fine Wines. Heck it's only 75c these days in Fine Wines. :eek:
    I was quite suprised by the price of the off licence's back then aswel, I mean they are certainly not cheap now compared to most countries but who know's what kind of situation we would be in without the likes of Tesco etc

    I vaguely remember using it to conver the tables in primary school art class...

    At least the Out and About section had been introduced at this stage, it's on page 8.

    I remember a time when you had to pay to become a member of a video store, if you weren't a member then you wouldnt get the new releases for about a week later.
