The TLC initiative is sponsored by the JP McManus Benevolent Fund and is spearheaded by Paul O’Connell and Limerick City and County Council and partnered by Mr. Binman, Limerick’s Live 95FM, and The Limerick Leader.

Since its inception, there have been over 23,000 volunteers taking part in the initiative, instilling a sense of civic spirit and pride of place.
