Limerick City Tidy Towns’ bi-monthly award for March-April 2025 has gone to O’Connells Menswear and Dress Hire at 9 Catherine Street. Pictured outside the shop receiving the award from Maura is Shop Manager Joe Hall (Photo: Adrian Butler/Limerick Leader)

While we have always loved how consistently well this lovely traditional shop frontage is maintained, with beautiful signage and spotlessly clean windows, it looks even better since the upper floors were given a fresh coat of paint. In addition, any litter etc that is dropped or left outside the shop is regularly picked up by Joe and the rest of the staff at Mike O’Connell’s, and we are delighted to acknowledge their efforts with this award. Our aim with these awards is to try to get every business in the city to take pride not only in the appearance of their shops and offices, but also in the public area outside them.

Mike O’Connell Menswear & Dress Hire was established in 1986 and over the years has developed a reputation of providing a professional and personal service. It has a diverse range of stock to suit all shapes and sizes and can also provide a same day alteration service. Mike O’Connell’s friendly and helpful and highly experienced staff can assist in choosing from top quality brands for casual and formal occasions for both men and boys, and they have also built up a vast trade in wedding party suiting. They can be contacted by email on info@mikeoconnells.com or by phone 061 412091.

Mike O’Connell Menswear is our second bi-monthly winner for 2025 and will be in with a chance to be our Overall Winner for 2025, along with Crew Brewing Company who won our Jan-Feb award.
