Autumn lecture series in mid-west
The Limerick Civic Trust, in association with the University of Limerick, has arranged a magnificent line-up of seven public speakers for its Autumn Lecture Series so that Limerick people might hear them first-hand. You will be afforded an opportunity to put your questions to one or all of the visiting speakers.
At any rate, the trust is delighted that each speaker has accepted its invitation to visit Limerick – not just to feel the warmth of the city's time-honoured embrace but to imbue it with their discrete and expert area of knowledge, especially when that sagacity maps onto Limerick's cultural experience – one which the city shares with all communities beyond the metropolitan boundaries that define it.
The Limerick Civic Trust welcomes all to join in on all or some of these public talks.
