The show (and garage) must go on

LIMERICK’S Belltable was turned into a noise chamber yesterday when a nearby garage disrupted it’s official reopening.

Speeches by the theatre’s artistic director, Gerry Barnes, and Mayor of Limerick, Jim Long, were drowned out when a deafening noise erupted from a garage operated by Michael Daly at Daly’s Lane at the rear of the theatre.

Mr Daly has been at loggerheads with the theatre since renovation commenced two years ago, claiming his business was hurt by the €1.2 million development.
