What should have been a joyful night in MF is sullied by this. The Markets Field has a significant place in Limerick radical history, where injustice was often challenged nitter.cf/cheebah/status/1904677… Was this action (not consistent with previous M.F practice) ok'ed by club officials?
I guess @TreatyUnitedFC belive it's okay for children to be murdered and not take a stand then, guess I was wrong , pathetic club #IsraelEnemyOfHumanity
Because if it was a club decision. I can say (as a ST holder) with certainty that the majority of fans who attend do agree with #stopthegame and @Sport4Palestine on this and if you bothered to ask us, you would find that out.
Really good piece to herald return of home matches.
The clips of Mechanics Institute (home of Trades Council) and the Dockers Monument worth noting. Apt as the home ground plays an important part in Limerick's labour history.
Blue (collar) city.

New release 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This print was made as a small act of love for a city that’s always been better together. Don't rise to the far right noise. If you believe the 061 is home to everyone, old faces, new faces, all backgrounds and ethnicities share this and spread the grá 💚
Considering Baptiste's year living in Limerick, this is great addition to the city's black history & insight into 18th century Ireland. Real evocative moment is hearing EileenAroon sung in style Rachel would have sung it, in Peters Cell over 250 years ago rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/the-lyr…
My documentary ‘Black Syren’ is on @RTElyricfm 6pm this eve.
This project has been more than work for me. It’s an important piece of untold Irish history that I can’t wait to share.

Limerick was beautiful today! We @ipsc48 were loud and proud for Palestine. We held our ground and our space in the face of the far right. We showed our unbreakable solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers. This city will give no quarter to racism. #FreePalestine
First ever public reading of Pure Winter was a major highlight of very memorable night with Kevin Barry, Aoife &Steve
Being in a packed basement in Catherine St. we were already in main character Joe's backyard, making the resonance more profound.

Pure Winter, a pure Limerick short story by Kevin Barry in todays @IrishTimes Fab illustration of Cecil Street by @chrisjudge
Great news.
Hopefully it won't be long before he is emulating Limerick's other star Boevi and gracing the pitch at Dalymount.

While his international book tours tread the familiar path of bookshops & art spaces, 'tis notable that for last decade, I think all of Kevin Barry's hometown appearances have been in music related spaces/events.
Good to see that continue. Will be special

The Stinging Fly continues to play a vital role in discovering & championing new writers.
So "Friends of the Fly" very worthy of support.
Parochially, Limerick-based writer Paula Dias Garcia @PressSans has memorable short story set in Cratloe Woods, in latest issue. Seek out.
The end of the year, and the start of something new.
Did you know we are a new charity?
Our new Winter 2024-25 issue is now out in the world, along with our new page to celebrate the Friends of The Fly. As a new charity, our Friends support our work and ambition to remain at the heart of literary life in Ireland.
This Christmas, don't be a stranger, become a Friend of The Fly.

OTD 100 yrs ago, Len Johnson won his 1st victory on Irish soil at Croke Park, though no word in local press of his Irish heritage (Roscrea) The Black Manchunian boxer would never win British titles due to racist colour bar. Later, he'd be a strong & radical left wing organiser.

3/4 of ScaryÉire being kicked out of the dole office for filming in the early 90's. Grumpy oul bollocks. Hit the pub with the late Denny Cordell of Island records then back to Sloosh's gaff for bodhrán scratch shenanigans 💚

This is notable. Historically, pre 1800s, Nicholas St. to John's St. was the busy spine of old Limerick city. I can't think of any occasion in last two decades (prob much longer) where hundreds would have walked that route together. But tomorrow night, circa 7.10 pm they will.
Treaty United are delighted to announce our major partnership with Treaty City Brewery.
Treaty United fans can enjoy a burger and a beer for €10 at @TreatyCityBrew prior to tomorrow's game.
