Clean-up volunteers give Limerick some TLC

Regiments in high-vis jackets swept across the highways and byways of Limerick city and county yesterday, leaving spick and span neighbourhoods in their wake.

For more than three hours, an estimated 15,500 men, women, and children removed about 150 tonnes of litter in the country’s biggest ever community-led effort of its kind.

On the dot of 10am, the Boherbuoy band led the attack to the sound of the Tenth Regiment marching tune.
