Limerick Fairtade City Launch
3.00 pm Awarding of Fairtrade Certification to Limerick City
Peter Clohessy's Sin Bin, Howley's Quay
"Limerick City is one of a growing number of towns and cities nationwide who have achieved Fairtrade status. Limerick City Fair Trade Project was officially launched by the former Mayor, Cllr. Michael Hourigan on 11th Jan 2005 and the Steering Committee are delighted that the city has achieved Fairtrade City status so soon. This has been achieved by the collaborative effort of retail outlets, catering outlets, organisations and schools supporting the project. Fairtrade is about justice not charity and aims to improve the lives of producers and workers throughout the developing world. Fairtrade ensures
that producers receive a fair and guaranteed price for their product while workers in plantations and factories receive a fair wage. "
Had a cup of tea and a sambo. Entered the draw for some free trade goodies (didnt win). Had a chat with a lady who runs a shop selling products with that are farirtrade or produced under fair standards.
