Update regarding our recent post on Ed Sheeran:

The below post published on this page reflected an individual admin's personal view rather than the editorial stance of Limerick Now.

As a community platform, our goal is to share news fairly, encourage respectful discussion, and remain neutral on complex global and cultural topics.

The recent controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran’s tour involves difficult debates regarding free speech, artistic platforms, and politics in entertainment:

On one side, many fans and industry observers support the view that mainstream pop concerts should remain spaces for entertainment and escapism rather than political rallies, noting that artists and organisers face immense logistical, legal, and venue pressures to keep shows running for thousands of ticket-holders.

On the other side, many feel strongly that artists with massive platforms have a moral responsibility not to silence supporting acts who highlight humanitarian crises and human rights issues, viewing decisions to remove performers as capitulation to venue and financial pressure.

We welcome open, civil debate in our comments, but going forward Limerick Now will stick to reporting the facts and letting our community decide where they stand.

We stand with Ed. He played a brilliant concert in Thomond Park when he visited during his tour! 🏟☘️💚

The woke mob trying to cancel Ed Sheeran is such a pity. Just because he didn’t want to be drawn into a public political row, they’re out to cancel him. They’re an absolute embarrassment.

Wanting a gig to stay a gig, not a rally, shouldn’t be treated like a moral crime. Not every artist has to become a spokesperson on demand.

Stay strong and true Ed, the majority are with you. 🇮🇪🤝⭐️

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) is calling on the Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan TD to establish an independent statutory tribunal of inquiry into the handling of protected disclosures within An Garda Síochána, following this week's RTÉ Investigates programme.

Diesel to €2.50 a litre? Sources say “more than likely” in the coming weeks — and oil execs are already calling it “the great fuel crisis. ⛽️

Right now the national average is about €1.94/L. Some stations are already over €2. A 50-litre tank is ~€97 today. At €2.50 it would be €125.

Micheál Martin has said ~€2 could be the “new normal.” Temporary excise cuts stay until end of October, then start coming back from 1 November. His same government relieve a substantial amount from fuel nearly half the fuel price. But yet they refuse to intervene?

Rural drivers, hauliers and anyone filling weekly will feel it first. Ireland imports every drop — so wholesale prices, the euro and tax decide what you pay at the pump.

€2.50 isn’t here yet. The direction of travel is why this headline is landing.
