“Shoulder to Shoulder: Integration through the Arts Project – The support we received from Richard Lynch was exceptional. Our project, “Shoulder to Shoulder” works with young people to overcome the barriers to intercultural integration, together we aim to create a more inclusive Limerick. The professional marketing and media skills that Richard offered us in order to promote Shoulder to Shoulder were tremendous; his expertise, website, Facebook and photographers were all made easily accessible.  Richard’s I Love Limerick site gave us a media platform that a community project like ours just doesn’t have the resources to implement on our own. But surpassing this was the attitude shown by Richard and his team – rather than struggling for attention we were received with enthusiastic support. In this time of economic hardship it is sometimes easy to forget that you don’t have to be a native of Limerick to love Limerick, to us I Love Limerick truly reflects the team spirit that our county is renowned for.”
