Burns Night celebration coming to Limerick

A NIGHT of “feast and revelry” and “tipsy dance and jollity” are in store next week as Robert Burns night is celebrated in Dolan’s.

From 8pm on Thursday, January 25, the Dock Road pub will put on a typical Scottish meal to mark the night celebrating Scotland’s national poet.

Mungret man Michael Potter will once again compere the event he organises, while people will be invited to recite a few of Robbie Burns’s classic poems, including his famous Tam O’Shanter!

The night will also see haggis and sandwiches served, along with neeps and tatties (parsnips and potatoes), alongside violin music.

There will be poems and songs - and those who wish to throw in a piece of literature are more than welcome to do so.

There will be the singing of Scottish songs, and recitals of poetry as part of the event, set to be attended by many.

All are welcome at the event.

Cllr Tom Ruddle, Michael Egan of Limerick City Pipe Band and Michael Potter, who has organised the event for many years.
