MEMBERS of the Ukrainian community in Limerick, including some recently-arrived refugees, gathered in the city centre this Wednesday morning as the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, addressed a joint meeting of the Oireachtas.
A peaceful demonstration took place at Bedford Row just before 10am with those present, mainly women and children calling for an end to the Russian invasion which began more than a month ago.
