'Abhorrent and distressing': Limerick paedophile jailed for eight years  irishexaminer.com/news/courtandc…

A paedophile has been jailed for eight years after a Limerick court heard of how he talked about torturing, raping, and killing children, and shared videos of a girl being “violently raped” while holding a teddy bear. irishexaminer.com/news/courtandc…

@davidtobin100 These are the documents I had a look at. A letter redacted by the organisation, copies of said same letter signed individually by each retailer, and a compilation of the names of all retailers.

@ManonGilbart Thanks Manon. Just for clarity - has this group redacted parts of the letter or signatories or both when showing it to media?

Yesterday they claimed it was 150+ retailers and less than a day later they’ve apparently lost a third. The secret list is changing and no-one knows who is on it. I wonder do the businesses supposedly named know they’re included? This really isn’t adding up…

@pandorabell Yes Nicole, and this was also reported on. A submission was made by the Limerick Chamber regarding the proposed road closures for the August activities, after they conducted a survey with their members. irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

@ManonGilbart Was there not a Chamber of Commerce meeting where the majority of people were in favour of the Summer activities? Is that not more relevant?

More than 100 retailers have asked the mayor of Limerick to “not proceed” with several road closures in the city centre, which will impact their businesses. irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

@KieranODonova12 @moranjohna1 @irishexaminer Always feel free to reach out, Kieran. Email is manon.gilbart@irishexaminer.ie

As a ratespayer with a Limerick city business employing 10 people, I call on Mayor @moranjohna1 to proceed with his plans for the summer in the city! Maybe @irishexaminer will report that!

@Padraiccleary Hi Pádraic, the list of retailers against the road closures is yet to be made public by the Limerick City Centre Traders Association. I had a look at the documents in person earlier and a total of 112 retailers were listed as signatories.

@ManonGilbart Are you able to provide a list of the 102 retailers ? Because as a retailer I wasn't asked
