Limerick’s local government faces criticism for mishandling financial matters, specifically withholding funds designated for public bodies in Ireland. One example involved a delay in providing over £1,500 in grant-in-aid funding for the first quarter of 1899. Critics argue that such delays are unjust and emphasize the importance of revealing and rectifying these “treasury dodges” to ensure fair allocation and timely delivery of funds to public institutions.
