Limerick community rallies to help those in need after flooding

St Mary’s Park showed true grit in the aftermath of the flooding, says Mid-West Correspondent Jimmy Woulfe.

FOR nearly 20 years St Mary’s Park in Limerick — known locally as the Island Field — has been synonymous with the bloody feud which ravaged the city, claiming many lives.

Armed gardaí patrolled the estate 24/7. One of the major drug gangs involved in the feud has its base in St Mary’s Park.
