€2m Limerick market to be ‘on scale not seen before’

A NEW €2 million city centre market, which will open in Limerick within a year, will be on a scale not seen in this country before, it was predicted yesterday.

A weekly farmer’s market takes place on Saturday mornings but David O’Mahony, chairman of the Limerick Market Trustees, said the new market will embrace a far wider range of market experiences featuring Irish and international experiences.

“For instance we have had talks with groups from Germany who have expressed an interest in getting an opportunity to showcase German food, drink and all kinds of other produce in a dedicated market event in Limerick,” he said.
