One of the most authentic pubs in all of Ireland. This is Frawley’s in Lahinch.

Hi @DanielButlerFG, I’m surprised to see you sitting on the O’Connell monument in its disgraceful condition, despite repeated requests by @RHODLIMERICK & others for it to be cleaned & maintained. If this wasn’t remedied during the your Council term, what hope for a mayoral term?

This is normal in spain. Teams of workers wash down the entire city every night. This whole street in Limerick smells heavily of birdshit

Evidence that streets need a consistent cleaning programme (ideally power hosed), not a run through with a street sweeper.
