Warning over reports of scam calls in Limerick
A warning has been issued about reports of scam calls in Limerick.

The council issued a statement to say that "no staff member of Limerick City and County Council is currently engaged in this type of project."
They added that the council would never cold call people requesting this sort of support.
In a statement, the council said: "We would urge people to ignore this caller and not give them any personal or financial information.
