This programme has been a huge success story here in Limerick with the Limerick Lawn Tennis Club offering the only accessible tennis programme of its kind in the Munster region,” the City North representative explained.

I urge the Minister and the Minister of State to do all they can to help the Limerick Lawn Tennis Club to keep this programme going,” Cllr Hickey-O’Mara concluded.
