Our History

A Rich Tapestry of Tradition and Transformation

In the 1840s there was a belief that the dispersal of markets throughout the city, their fitness for purpose, and their general constitution and management, was not the best solution for the City and the Limerick Market Trustees was set up by an Act of Parliament, passed in 1852, to expand and manage the affairs of markets within the city boundary and its environs.

So Many Fun Stalls

There were so many fun things to buy at the market when I went. Even in the cold rainy December I was able to get a few souveniers for friends & family and a handmade journal for myself
