Property Focus: The lure of Limerick brings locals home

Shannonsiders returning from Dublin in search of bigger gardens and space for a home office

The Covid pandemic has brought a flood of returning Shannonsiders home to Limerick City.

“When we came out of the first lockdown last year, there was a huge increase in people wanting to relocate to limerick — nearly every third caller was from someone who wanted to move back,’’ says Lisa Kearney, of Rooney Auctioneers, adding that most were from Dublin but others came from the US and the UK.
