FOUR Limerick groups have been selected by Limerick City and County
Council to represent the Treaty in this year’ IPB Pride of Place
competition.
Dromcollogher Care Centres and Housing for Older Persons, Johnsgate
Residents Association, Rockhill/Bruree Community Council and The
Butterfly Club in West Limerick will all go to represent Limerick.
This is the 22nd year of the competition, which acknowledges and
celebrates the work that communities do all over Ireland.
It aims to recognise the vital contributions that communities make to
society along with creating awareness, respect and inclusion for every
part of society.
Dromcollogher will represent Limerick in the age friendly category,
while Johnsgate will be holding the flag for urban neighbourhoods under
3,000, Rockhill/Bruree will represent populations under 300 and the
Butterfly Club will represent inclusive communities.
Each group will hold a special festival day to showcase their work and
judging will take place on August 21 and 22.

and County Council, Seamus O’Connor said: “I wish to acknowledge the
great efforts the four groups chosen have made. There is no doubt they
will do Limerick proud and I wish them the very best of luck.”
