Summer in the City Ignites Limerick | Limerick News

Mayor John Moran celebrates the roaring success of “Summer in the City,” calling it a triumph of community spirit over cynicism. Locals flooded him with praise, telling him to “Feck the begrudgers,” as families, friends, and visitors flocked to revitalized public spaces—safe, vibrant, and buzzing with life. Despite initial fears about traffic and backlash—including road block attempts and vile online abuse—he insists there was no chaos, even with schools back. Businesses saw boosts after early doubts, and he credits crowds with creating natural security and ownership. He’s undeterred by opposition, rejecting the idea that a vocal minority should derail progress. Disgusted by homophobic abuse aimed at him and supporters, he insists Limerick must welcome new ideas with respect, not contempt. The mayor sees this as proof the city can innovate boldly—and invites skeptics to join him in building on this momentum, turning imagination into real, joyful experiences for all.
