LIMERICK’S accident-prone metal Christmas tree, designated to be a permanent river feature in the Shannon near the city centre, keeled over yesterday.

A LIMERICK businessman has expressed his displeasure at being replaced as sponsor of a star ladies GAA football team by rugby legend Peter Clohessy.

A post-mortem is due to be carried out in Limerick today on the body of a man found in the River Shannon at the weekend.
