Children's Strategy
All children have a right to Play and Limerick County Council recognises the rights of the child as stated by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) whereby: “The child shall have full opportunity to play and recreation, which should be directed to the same purposes as education: society and the public authorities shall endeavour to promote the enjoyment of this right.” (Article 7).

Twinning between Limerick County Council and Hohenlohekreis, Germany.
The Council’s of Limerick County and Hohenlohekreis, have had a twinning partnership since 1990 and have re-affirmed their commitment to continue this arrangement up until 2005. Both authorities recognise that this partnership has been of benefit economically, culturally and socially to the people of both counties.
Some examples of co-operation between the two districts include:
• Sub county area systems
• Cultural area exchange
• IT and Financial expertise
• Future development of library services
• Encourage Tourism exchange between the two regions
The District of Hohenlohe was created out of the former District of Kuenzelsau and parts of the former Districts of Oehringen, Buchen, Schwaebisch Hall and Crailsheim as part of the district reform act of 1973. The newly created District of Hohenlohe chose a coat of arms that is dominated by the heraldry animals of the House of Hohenlohe, alluding to the district’s name and the preeminent position of the House of Hohenlohe in the history of the region. The wheel (Wheel of Mainz) positioned in the escutcheon foot points at the former close affiliation between some parts of the region, especially the region around Krautheim, and the archdiocese of Mainz. The coat of arms was granted by the Ministry of the Interior on April 3rd 1974.
