Do you have to be from Limerick to get the job?

I love giving people info and showing them where all the hidden treasures are. I've been known to do it on quite a few occasions in Dublin.............but if a free red coat is thrown in!!!!!!

I've always wanted one ;-))

But red isnt my coulor so I will have to give it a miss... Pity really.

Ryano : I think a red coat would go very well with your lovely green hat :-)

Ok just for you Suzy I will try it. What does this job entail? Do I have to go for pints with tourists and bring their daughters to late nite bars?

Yes, it's one the requirements for the job.

No, ryano, red is not your colour. Doesn't mean you can't be an ambassador for Limerick!

Thats a great idea - why don't they do that in all the cities? (Stupid question I suppose... its all about money).

I want to see a photo of this famous red coat - beanalainn can you get your camera for us tomorrow? :-)

I feel a Limerick coming on...

There once was a coat in red,

To the right direction the tourist it led.

The tourist just loved it,

Through Limerick with enjoyment wafted.

Wish this redcoat I had met.

Sorry...

Hey Jelly,

I have a flu-type at the moment (the earth is moving and himself isn't even near me, let alone making it move for me!!) so I can't head out on the street for you.

However, there is a very nice picture here

shannon-dev.ie/News/…en.html

To everyone else, I think its a great idea. They are all volunteers.

Suzy - they will be recruiting next year. The Limerick Leader usually has details. www.limerickleader.ie :o)
