Tuscany at the Granary

Tuscany was born in 2003 in Castletroy, Co Limerick and has expanded ever since. Tuscany at the Granary is a Limerick-based Italian restaurant that creates modern Italian cuisine. They follow a simple, fresh and uncomplicated philosophy that food should be enjoyed and revelled just like life.

The menu is made up of traditional Italian food incorporating locally sourced ingredients where possible – bruschetta, soup, pasta, pizza and risotto along with side dishes make the menu suitable for lunchtime visits or an evening meal.

Limerick Suicide Watch

Limerick Suicide Watch’s focus is to keep a watch over the river and identify and provide support to those in distress and need aid.

They also visit colleges, schools and workplaces to promote mental health awareness and encourage conversation around mental health and self-harm. Established in May 2016, they rely entirely on public donations, which are used for training, insurance and equipment.

The event takes place on Saturday, March 7 from 7 pm to 12 am. Tickets cost €10 for groups and €15 for general admission. You can purchase individual and group tickets at Eventbrite now. Groups must have five or more people
