Lighting up the festive season

A VERITABLE Christmas forest is being erected in Limerick this year to brighten up the festive season.

Up to 80 Christmas trees will be dotted around the city centre as part of a new five-year plan to make Limerick the most lit-up city in the country.

Businessman Michael Gleeson, who is coordinator of the Christmas lights committee, said more funding is being raised to push the Christmas lights programme.
