Row over trees obstructing view of city museum

TALL trees are spoiling one of Limerick’s best city views and should get the chop, according to local tourist guide Ann O’Malley.

Visitor and local, she believes, should be given the opportunity of a clear view of the Hunt Museum, an imposing Palladian style building that was formerly the Custom House.

“While we are generally reluctant to suggest that trees be felled, we feel that here a strong case can be made for their removal,” said Ms O’Malley, Association of Approved Tourists Guides of Ireland.
