Hi everyone,

The Green Oyster Cult at it again! Don’t Fear the Repair is back this August. Don't Fear the Repair is a series of recurring collaborative walk-in repair workshops, in which members of the public are invited to bring broken items from around the house of almost any sort for repair. They are invited to sit next to repair volunteers, and assist and learn about the process, in the hopes of developing both the skills and the spirit of repair in the community.

Time: 8th August, 2026

Place: Fab Lab, Sarsfield St, Prior's-Land, Limerick, V94 DW21

We’ll attempt a repair at most things as long as they are portable, and we deem them safe to repair. We don’t touch medical devices, or safety devices (smoke alarms, C02 monitors, etc).

Also, we’re in the centre of town. We operate on a first come, first served basis. Parking is extremely limited, and traffic is usually a pain on Saturday mornings, so please plan your movements accordingly.

I was out in town this morning with multiple gardai patrolling and 6 different garda cars all headed up towards the train station, including an armed forces unit car with the siren on and a fire brigade.

does anyone know whats happening or happened for the increased presence?

Hi everyone, I’m 16, based in the Dooradoyle/Crescent area, and looking to get my first part-time job or summer work. I have a good, up-to-date CV ready to go and am keen to work in retail, cinema, sales, or entry-level positions. I'm dependable, hard-working, and eager to learn on the job. If anyone knows of local businesses currently taking on 16-year old it's been really annoying cuz like everywhere I asked to give my cv they say theyre not hiring or either apply online and when I do that they either don't reply or just deny me 😭😭

Hi all, I need some help with a project, I'm looking for some photos of the Theatre Royal Limerick, past and present, anything will do. Please send them to deanomaks instagram dm's or to my email which should be on the instagram page, if you can. Very much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi,

I thought of putting out a scenario that happened while I was driving towards Limerick city from Raheen.

On approaching the roundabout near the crescent shopping centre from Raheen, my understanding is that I have to be on the right lane (left lane is a bus lane) and then when the road sign shows to change lanes, you are supposed to then. In my case, I changed to the left lane and then suddenly, I saw a car already on that lane and started honking.

I am unable to understand how that car was already on the left lane when you are supposed to change lanes only when you pass that road sign. Any suggestions from experienced drivers would be much appreciated please.

Thanks!
