Limerick Council 10 years of amalgamation representing the council’s commitment to sustainability, community, and growth
Limerick City and County Council has proudly commemorated a decade since its amalgamation into a single Local Authority by planting a tree at their headquarters in Merchant’s Quay.
This symbolic gesture represents the council’s commitment to sustainability, community, and growth.
Limerick City and County Council officially became one local authority on June 1, 2014, following the amalgamation of Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council. This merger was carried out under the provisions of the Local Government Reform Act 2014, resulting in a unified governing body for both the city and county.

That new organisation promised to deliver “One Vision, One Voice and One Limerick” and to be brave in delivering unified change for Limerick. Limerick City and County Council has most certainly delivered on this promise, as underscored by the winning of Local Authority of the Year 2023.
At the tree planting ceremony, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Gerald Mitchell thanked the Council staff for their commitment, saying, “as we mark the 10th anniversary of Limerick City and County Council’s formation, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the commitment and dedication demonstrated by each staff member. As Mayor I have seen first-hand the work that goes into making Limerick the best city and county in the world. Thank you for making it so.”
Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council, Dr. Pat Daly added, “to commemorate our 10-year journey, we plant a tree at Merchant’s Quay, symbolising continued growth of our services and staff numbers, our resilience, and connectedness. In years to come as we enjoy the three bridges walk we will pass this tree and acknowledge all of those who have worked here, now work here and will be working here as this tree grows.”
