Photo Limerick 100 Ft Christmas Tree Hits Bridge and almost topples over

Photograph of Limericks Christmas Tree hitting the Bridge today.

The 100ft Christmas that was to be the centerpiece of the Limerick winterfest broke free when being towed into position today in strong current.

Despite the valiant efforts of those positioning the tree it collided with the Bridge and was damaged.

Later that evening the tree listed over about
45 degrees and efforts are currently underway to right the free.
