Network Ireland Limerick provides a forum where women in business, the professions and the Arts can exchange business ideas and increase their business contacts. It encourages women to achieve more satisfying careers and promotes women as worthy contributors to the Irish economy. Network Ireland Limerick is a branch of Network Ireland, a national organisation driving the personal and professional development of women with over 800 members and 12 branches through the country. 

 Network Ireland Limerick holds monthly networking meetings where a guest speaker is invited to educate, inform and entertain on topics of interest to women. Members can develop and pool their individual skills through interaction with other women in a supportive environment which offers, training, mentoring and an opportunity for women who call on other members with specialist expertise for help. It also provides a forum for established women to develop professional and social contacts.

Edwina Gore, President of Network Ireland Limerick, said, “Membership has grown because more and more professional women are beginning to appreciate and value the relationships they typically build up in the network. They come for the professional support and to collaborate with each other.

During the year the Network attracted some distinguished speakers to present at their events including; World Rugby Referee of the Year Joy Neville, Chair of Policing Authority Josephine Feehily, David McGowan of Quirky Glamping, Amanda Scott, author of ‘Who’s In Your Personal Boardroom?’ and Leanne Moore, Fitness Blogger and owner of Go Gym Limerick.
