I'm not subby, but I agree that some limericks could really spruce this thread up.

Only the Shannon Bridge prevented the steel structure being carried down the Estuary but there appeared to be no significant damage to either the tree or the bridge when the Limerick Leader visited the scene at 6pm.

That's not a crash. That's water gentle nudging a barge against a bridge. I want Christmas Carnage.

There once was a tree in the river
The mooring rope broke with a shiver
It floated downstream
And came abeam
Of a bridge where it stuck with a quiver.

What was that about tugging a "Poor Man's Kilkee and chain it to the bed"?

Those Limericians sure know how to party.

Ms. Lewis? Could you please take this and file it for me under the Department of DUH? Thanks.

This isn't about the video!

This is about trying to branch out to the people and going out on a limb!

"She won a competition on Limerick's Live 95FM to walk the Castleconnell boxer into the ring for his bout in the UL Arena on Saturday night"

I thought Boxing Day was the 26th of December.
