City planners move to finally call time on Limerick shebeen

THE days of the Southill shebeen are numbered following a move by planners at Limerick City Council.

Francis Kelly has been ordered by a court to remove the unauthorised structure, located in a huge shed at the back of his house.

Due to an outdated provision in the intoxicating liquor laws, the shebeen had been able to continue trading for the past five months, despite numerous Garda raids in which thousands of euro worth of drink were confiscated.
