Cllr Elisa O’Donovan

Monthly reminder Limerick City has only ever elected 2 women to the Dáil. Limerick County has elected zero ever.
Started doing these reminders last year when we almost had a 3rd woman elected ( @elisaodonovan.bsky.social )
Instead I've to this same thing monthly for the next four years.

You didn’t answer my question? What have you been following? Why am I not believable? And how am I inconsistent and not backing up with available records. I can’t remember Cian Ginty being in our private council briefing last week? Honestly your misogyny is so blatant. It’s disgusting

I stand by everything I have said about you! I am used to the far right and extremists placing SIPO complaints as well as all the cycling “campaigners” who have attempted multiple times to put in complaints about me 🤣 so go ahead

Your arrogance is breathtaking Cian. Of course you know more that the elected rep who has attended all the private briefings and speak to all officials on a daily basis.

My family are all private citizens and none of them except my Uncle in Longford have held public office. They can do whatever they like as private citizens.

Please do.

Nice work Cian! A nice touch to bring in my family too. Very reasonable and this 3rd article doesn’t come across as some unhinged vendetta at all! As I said I’m embarrassed for you.

Can you please provide some evidence for this please?

Can you clarify the misinformation and now disinformation that I am spreading?

Can you clarify how Cian Ginty knows more about this scheme that the elected Councillor that proposed it and lives in the area?

-I have proposed and supported all the active travel schemes in Limerick City West, which since I was elected has more segregated cycling infrastructure routes than it has ever had before. -The first and only school street in Limerick is beside my own home and was due to a motion that I proposed. -I commute to and from work every day by bike myself and I cycle to most Council meetings. I am passionate about active travel. -The Council have NOT provided detailed drawings to the public or us Councillors on the scheme. These were only shown once at the drop in information session on 13th May in paper format. The Council do not make detailed drawings available until after it’s gone to tender. For this reason I am unable to answer any questions from the public as I cannot remember the detailed design of every picture I saw for the hour. I was unable to take pictures at this event as I would have got members of the public in the shot.

The confusion and misinformation being spread about the South Circular Road active travel scheme is being purposely created. Some clarity below 👇 I will continue to work with my community in a collaborative and transparent way as always 🤝

Our wonderful President spoke so powerfully about how the actions and inactions of Goverment’s can cause so much needless death and starvation.
An occasion that will stay with me forever 💚

Today was the most special and poignant event I have ever had the honour of being invited to as a Councillor. The national famine commemoration today in Kilmallock was so incredibly moving.

I have deleted my previous post as there is NO boil notice for people in Limerick City west. The below are the only places impacted by boil notice currently

Checking out the basketball courts in Mungret Park today. For details of where they are and when they are opened watch my video! 🏀 #Limerick

Today I had a little post election meet-up with some of my amazing #GE24 crew. I am so thankful for all the amazing support I have received since the general election. If you would like to get involved and join my team please let me know 🩷 #MoreMná

Elisa at Dochas

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙 How wonderful to spend the morning having delicious coffee and cake at Dóchas - Midwest Autism Support. Their new coffee shop on Parnell street is open all week serving delicious treats and drinks ☕️

It is March full Council time! I have a motion on the tenant in situ scheme and I have my first Mayoral question on the transport sub-group for Limerick. Full agenda is here: www.limerick.ie/council/what...

Attended a fascinating conversation on B-Corp’s in Aoife’s Cottage in Adare this evening. B-Corp is a trademark for for-profit businesses certified for their social impact. More than ever we need to build an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system that benefits people and the planet 💚

The end of an era today on O’Connell Ave today’s as the shop in Bobby Byrnes closes its doors for the for the final time. In exciting news, a new coffee shop will be opening here in 10-12 week time! ☕️ Exciting times ahead 🤩

Mobile sensory room

Did you know that since 2022 LimerickCouncil have had a mobile sensory room at all parades in Limerick City? This is a viewing area and quieter space for autistic and neurodivergent people to comfortably watch the St.Patrick’s Day parade ☘️

Where else but Limerick City on St Patrick’s Weekend would you get bands from Colorado, Texas, Belfast, Clondalkin, Clonmel and our own brilliant local bands 🎶 i enjoyed every moment of the International band championship today!

Don’t forget parade starts at 12pm tomorrow ☘️

🌳 Suggestions for tree planting 🌳 For tree week Limerick Council are asking for suggestions for where communities would like tree’s planted in Limerick City. Please send on any suggestions to me or write below 👇

Umbrella street in Dublin

☂️ Colourful umbrella street for the Market Quarter ☂️ It has been suggested that Robert Street, the street leading up from Denmark street to the Milk Market could get some colourful umbrellas 🤩 I think this would be a great idea and would love to know your thoughts?

Why were you guys waiting so long? Never happened to me in Shannon!

I have just finished my first week working as a Speech and Language Therapist in University Hospital Limerick. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. I feel so lucky to be given the opportunity to work in the ❤️ of Limerick City West, the constituency I continue to proudly represent and love 💚🤍

Got a puncture cycling home from work and was stressing about how I would get to work tomorrow without my bike. The bike shop had it fixed in 30mins for me. We are so lucky to have it on our road 🚲

So nice to see you today Tracey

Outside of Dublin Limerick City had the highest number of people accessing emergency homeless accommodation in January this year 😢 489 people accessed Council emergency accommodation in the last week in January. I will have a motion at Council to urgently reinstate the no-faults eviction ban

A reminder that Limerick Milk Market is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and not just one day a week! 🥞
