Congratulations to the recently opened Hook & Ladder on winning the Limerick Tidy Towns Monthly Award for June. The picture shows the Manager of the Sarsfield Street unit Aisling Meehan being presented with the Award by Maura O’Neill of Limerick Tidy Towns outside the property. Maura from Tidy Towns says “Hook & Ladder has given a much needed lift to Sarsfield Street and the surrounding area since it took over the former National Bank of Ireland premises and opened its doors to the public last month. Since then the café has been a hive of activity and a highly popular addition to the city centre, not just for its high-spec refurbishment and very attractive frontage, which is obviously what appealed to the Tidy Towns team, but also obviously for the quality of its product. Their basement in particular is a welcome transformation as we have memories of cleaning it out before Hook & Ladder took over the premises and never dreamt it could look as good as it does now.”
