City Hall

City Hall is a municipal government building in Limerick, Ireland, located near the Shannon River and housing the administrative offices and council chambers of Limerick City and County Council. It serves as the center of local administration for the city and surrounding county.

Local government here traces back to Limerick Corporation, which received its Charter of Incorporation in 1197 with Adam Sarvant as its first Mayor. The current authority grew out of this medieval foundation.

The building holds records of local heritage and serves as a venue where regular council meetings take place, allowing residents to engage with municipal decision-making.

The building is open on weekdays during regular office hours and provides residents access to services including housing assistance, planning applications, and environmental concerns. Visitors should check in advance whether specific services are available when they plan to visit.

In 2014, Limerick became the first Irish city to merge its city and county councils into a single administrative authority. This consolidation represented a significant shift in how local government operates in the country.
