Other cities are recovering after the pandemic, but the Treaty city is finding it hard to attract big-name brands back
Retailers in Limerick have called for a new strategy to increase footfall in the city centre, which has been down since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Walking around the city last week with Cecilia Larkin, Limerick city centre’s revitalisation manager, and Vincent Murray, director of economic development and enterprise at Limerick council, it was clear that shop owners had varying opinions on what needs to be done to revitalise the area. Retail in Ireland’s fourth-largest city has been affected by several factors over the years, including the 2009 closure of tech multinational Dell with the loss of 2,000 jobs, and the pandemic. In addition, the Crescent shopping centre on the edge of the city has drawn retailers away from the centre.
