The Limerick Industrial Association is set to make a memorable appearance at the upcoming Munster-Connacht Exhibition with a display they’ve aptly named the “Chamber of Horrors.” This intriguing exhibit aims to shed light on a pressing issue that has plagued the Irish manufacturing industry — the proliferation of foreign goods masquerading as authentic Irish products, deceiving unsuspecting buyers.

The Limerick Industrial Association is on a mission to expose these deceptive practices and educate consumers about the importance of distinguishing genuine Irish craftsmanship from counterfeit imitations. Their stall at the Munster-Connacht Exhibition will serve as a platform to showcase various foreign goods cleverly designed to mimic Irish products. These items will be presented in a manner that illustrates the challenges faced by Irish manufacturers and artisans due to the influx of counterfeit merchandise into the market.

The exhibition is not only an opportunity to raise awareness but also a call to action. The Limerick Industrial Association encourages individuals who are aware of such cases, where foreign goods are deceptively marketed as Irish-made, to come forward and share their knowledge. They urge concerned citizens to promptly contact the Honorary Secretary of the Industrial Association, located at George’s Street in Limerick.

By shedding light on this issue and rallying the support of the community, the Limerick Industrial Association aims to protect the integrity of Irish craftsmanship and ensure that consumers can make informed choices when purchasing products. The “Chamber of Horrors” promises to be an eye-opening experience for visitors to the Munster-Connacht Exhibition, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by the Irish manufacturing industry in a global marketplace filled with imitation and deception.
