‘We have 150 super cute teddy bears that need new homes and are inviting young people and their families our Teddy Bear Pig-nic in St. Mary’s Park,’ said Gillian Boland, Limerick Youth Service.

‘We will have a BBQ stand with delicious homemade Limerick bacon, live music, face painting, sports, games and of course teddy bears!’ said Gillian, youth worker with St. Mary’s Park youth groups.
