What's open on Christmas Day in Limerick?
Christmas Day is a near-total shutdown in Ireland — virtually all supermarkets, shops and banks close. Many pubs open after mass and restaurants run Christmas menus. In Limerick, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
