Not actual cheesecake.
Last month Stephen Spielberg and his family were flying to the royal wedding in Monaco in his private jet . He still remembered his life changing trip to Ireland 2 years before. So he decided it was time to come visit again, for Cheesecake ! After breaking his journey by stopping his private jet in Shannon, himself and the family took the 65km drive to An Fear Gorta (tea and garden rooms) in Ballyvaughn Co Clare
A call had been made the night before to let them know he would be calling in, on arrival he was met by proprietors Jane O’Donoghue and Alan Clarke and announced “I’m back for the cheesecake I had last time”
He had quiche for lunch and then said bring on the cheesecake.
After eating he took time to stop and chat to the staff and customers and then set off back to the plane to continue on to Monaco.
And what is this cheesecake that made him want to return ? It’s their speciality Berry Cheesecake which goes for €4.95 a slice, on average they would sell 10 of these cakes a day which are all freshly baked each morning using locally sourced ingredients. Stephen said he will be calling again and to carry on with the good work.

Due to staff shortages over the summer months at Lissanalta House Dooradoyle, the offices are having to close for an hour each day.
The hours for the next couple of months are 10:30am – 3:30pm.
People are being advised to expect longer queues than normal and to allow extra time when they visit the office.
Jayne Leahy of the Limerick County Council Motor Taxation Office says the measure is necessary.
“Due to current reduced staffing levels it is necessary to reduce the opening hours of our Motor Taxation department in Dooradoyle by one hour each morning to facilitate the efficient processing of postal transactions. This will ensure we maximise the number of counter staff available to deal with the public,” she said.
Ms Leahy is apologising to members of the public for any inconvenience caused.
People are being advised to use the online option when possible

More than half of the €22 million crisis fund designed to help former Limerick Dell employees is to be returned unspent, the European globalisation fund was awarded after nearly 2000 jobs were slashed in 2009
However poor administration has been blamed as to why the workers never benefited from the promised cash. The money was to be used within 18 months that deadline was up last week so the €13 million of the outlay not allocated, goes back to Europe.
Junior minister Alan Kelly said “the previous minister Mary Coughlan did not act quickly enough.”

The day has finally arrived, back in March it was announced that JLS one of the most sucessful bands of this generation in the UK would be visiting our shores. Tonight JLS and Olly Murs take over Thormond Park to rock Limerick.
Both acts were found on the xfactor, neither act won the competition but both have gone on to do excellent in the pop world, our own Louise Walsh having a lot to do with JLS,
Both have a range of up tempo music and their sounds are great to have a dance to, their fan base is mostly around the teenager range, but many adults find themselves singing along and tapping their feet to their both distinctive sounds.
Lets hope for a hot summers night as they belt out the hits
