Metis Ireland and Limerick City College have a chance of winning this year’s overall prize

Limerick City Tidy Towns have presented their double monthly award for November-December to joint winners and neighbours Metis Ireland and Limerick City College at 88 and 89 O’Connell Street.   

Maura O’Neill of Limerick City Tidy Towns said, “Given that we’re fast approaching the Christmas season, we traditionally present a double monthly award for November-December, with a focus on exterior Christmas lighting and decoration.  We also always like to try to include a Georgian Building as one of our monthly winners as they are such an important part of Limerick’s built heritage and we are therefore delighted that our joint winners Metis Ireland and Limerick City College at 88 and 89 O’Connell Street tick both of those boxes, as their Georgian exteriors, doors, windows and steps which are perfectly maintained all year round are now enhanced by beautiful matching Christmas lights provided by Time4Lights, which are very much in keeping with the traditional buildings.”

Metis Ireland specialises in honest, experienced financial planning and pension advice. Their team are passionate about helping their clients arrange their finances to achieve the lifestyle they desire, both before and after retirement. Founded in 2014 and headed up by industry veteran Carl Widger, the company moved into their beautiful Limerick HQ on O’Connell Street in early 2021 following a tasteful interior renovation by local designer Tess Stanford, who made excellent use of the building’s original Georgian features.
