McManus offers cash incentive in clean-up campaign

TWELVE neighbourhoods in Limerick City which have entered the Tidy Towns 2011 competition have been given a huge incentive from a charitable foundation.

Philanthropist JP McManus has joined forces with Limerick City Council in promoting a cleaner city through special cash prizes.

Some of the money will also be given to areas which have not entered the Tidy Towns to help them clean up their neighbourhoods.
