What are the pros and cons of living in Limerick?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Limerick responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Limerick, often appreciate the city's rich history, friendly locals, and vibrant arts and culture scene. They enjoy the walkability of the city, which allows them to easily explore its charming streets, medieval architecture, and picturesque riverfront. Limerick's lower cost of living compared to other Irish cities like Dublin is also a significant draw for expats and digital nomads. The city's location on the west coast of Ireland provides easy access to stunning natural landscapes, such as the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, which are popular weekend destinations for outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, Limerick's growing tech industry and startup scene offer ample job opportunities for expats and digital nomads. However, some expats and digital nomads may find the weather in Limerick to be a downside, as it can be quite rainy and unpredictable. The city's public transportation system may also be a source of frustration, as it is not as extensive or reliable as those in larger European cities. Some may also feel that Limerick's nightlife and entertainment options are limited compared to bigger cities, and the city may not be as diverse or cosmopolitan as they would like," said one expat in living in Limerick, Ireland.
