A groundbreaking collaboration across Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary is bringing culturally tailored substance use resources directly to the Traveller community, led by trusted Traveller Community Health Workers who bridge gaps in healthcare access. New leaflets, an updated “Give It Up” video series, and family support guides are designed to resonate deeply, while emphasizing peer-led outreach and advocacy. This initiative proves that real change happens when communities shape their own solutions — building trust, breaking stigma, and ensuring recovery support is both accessible and meaningful.

Limerick’s Intercultural IPAS soccer tournament wrapped up with a bang, turning six weeks of friendly matches into a powerful symbol of community unity. What began as a one-day event last year blossomed into a six-team league spanning April and May, bringing together players from five different IPAS centers through the universal language of soccer. The final showdown on June 13th—just before Irish Refugee Week—saw Team Two of Knockalisheen clinch victory in an all-Knockalisheen clash. But the real triumph? Using sport to bridge divides, foster inclusion, and weave newcomers into the fabric of Limerick. With plans already underway to expand the initiative—especially for kids and youth—the Local Authority Integration Team is turning this grassroots success into a lasting legacy of connection, one goal at a time.
