“We are delighted to announce Virginia Teehan as our guest speaker for our 2021 Ladies Business Lunch.

“By supporting the event, you help to maintain the employment of up to seventy persons who work on environmental, restoration and other projects that contribute to the positive improvement of Limerick. Your support enables you to share in our projects and create employment opportunities while promoting and improving Limerick’s built heritage.”

This years event will be the first since 2019 to take place in person, with last years lunch occurring online as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, with guest speaker Bibi Baskin, an experienced Irish broadcaster, chatting to guests online using Zoom.

The trust is a non-profit, self-funding charity, which undertakes projects for the general improvement of Limerick’s environment, in conjunction with local authorities, state agencies and other interested parties.
