New mosque planned for Limerick - cultural centre set to transform 'eyesore' site Reporter: '); PLANNING permission is being sought for a new Islamic Cultural Centre, or a mosque, in the heart of Limerick. The Dawat-e-Islami mosque, based in O’Connell Street, is seeking planning permission from Limerick City and County Council to knock three derelict buildings in Wickham Street and construct a four-storey centre. If it gets permission, it will be situated at the junction of Wickham Street, Parnell Street, Sexton Street and Upper Gerald Griffin Street, on what’s been described by architects as a “difficult” site. On Friday – the sacred day of worship for Muslims – it’s anticipated that up to 40 people would attend the facility, and between five and 10 people on other days.
