Controversial Limerick ‘shebeen’ back in business

THE controversial “shebeen” in Southill which was closed down by a court last October is back in business.

Francie Kelly, 34, gave an undertaking to Limerick District Court eight months ago to dismantle the shebeen, which was ruled to be in contravention of the city’s planning laws.

However, four people were found drinking at the shebeen when gardaí raided the premises at around 1.30am on Saturday last. A quantity of drink was seized and gardaí removed a metal door to gain access.
