Search begins for replacement to head up Limerick City of Culture

A replacement to head up the Limerick City of Culture year-long project has finally been advertised, over two months after the resignation of former CEO Patricia Ryan.

Controversy surrounding Ms Ryan’s appointment to the €120,000 position failed to abate after it emerged the 18-month contract was not advertised.

A former adviser to Pat Cox, chairman of the board of Limerick City of Culture, Ms Ryan also worked as an adviser to Mary Harney when she was minister for health.
