Limerick council denies €200 ‘insult’ in Harris film festival row

Limerick City and County Council has said it gave €1,100 to the Richard Harris International Film Festival and not €200 as claimed by the organisers.

However, the festival’s director Zeb Moore said he stands over his assertion that it only got €200 from the council as €900 of the €1,100 had come from Fáilte Ireland and was merely paid out to the event by the council.

“The council’s actual contribution is €200,” Mr Moore said
