Limerick Council shortlisted Chamber Ireland Awards.

The awards are made up of 16 categories and the Limerick City and County Council have been shortlisted for four of the awards. The nominated categories are: Supporting Active Communities, Promoting Economic Development, Local Authority Innovation and Outstanding Customer Service.

The Excellence in Local Government Awards showcase best practice in local government and recognise the skills, hard work, innovation and enthusiasm within local government that can often go unrecognised. Irish Local Authorities can enter as many categories, but may only enter one project per category. The Awards are judged by a panel of expert judges working in the field of Local Government and have been taking place since 2004.
