Many congratulations to Frances Twomey & Co Solicitors on winning the Limerick Tidy Towns Monthly Award for March. Pictured are Ellen Twomey, Frances Twomey and Jerry Twomey outside their beautiful offices at 80 O’Connell Street with the Award.

The building was chosen as an example of how well Limerick’s magnificent Georgian buildings can look when sympathetically restored and continually maintained. The Tidy Towns team regularly comment on how wonderful the frontage of the building looks, with pristine paintwork, spotlessly clean windows, beautifully maintained flower boxes, gleaming brass plaques and regularly power-washed, weed-free steps and basement area, while still showcasing its historic Georgian features to full effect and thereby benefitting the heritage of Georgian Limerick. Clearly great pride is taken by the firm and if first impressions are anything to go by, then Frances Twomey & Co is definitely a shining light. They can be contacted on 061 316191, by email at enquiries@francestwomey.ie or visit their website www.twomeysolicitors.ie.

A new winner will be selected each month during 2014 with an overall winner to be announced at the end of the year. Winners so far for 2014 were Lucky Lane on Lower Catherine Street for January and Chicken Hut on O’Connell Street for February.
