FOR the second year running, Covid-19 has severely impacted what would normally be one of the busiest weekends of the year in Limerick.
Before the pandemic, tens of thousands of people would have been expected to descend on the city for the Riverfest celebrations and the Great Limerick Run.
Last year’s Riverfest was cancelled at short notice due the first lockdown and this year Limerick City and County Council is encouraging members of the public to visit a number of walking trails which take in locations of significance in the city.

TRIBUTES have been paid in Limerick and around the country following the sad death of a popular filmmaker, who grew up in the city.
Paddy Cahill, a passionate advocate for cycling, and film director who combined his two passions through his lifetime, died aged just 43 at the weekend after a long illness.
His funeral took place in Dublin earlier this week, with his brother Conor cycling his coffin to Glasnevin Cemetery. Dozens of other cyclists followed behind as the cortege made its way through the city.
