Four former soldiers permitted to remain in accommodation

A LIMERICK landlord has ensured a secure future for four former soldiers, permitting them to remain in accommodation which was home to them for a number of years.

It was initially feared the four retired soldiers, who served with the UN during their army careers, would have to move out of their accommodation at St James’s Street, which opened as a halfway house for ex-servicemen five years ago.

It originally housed 11 former army men and, since it opened, up to 30 former members of the defence forces have lived there.
