Known locally as Hole In The Wall, this Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held on Thursday evenings at 8.30pm in the Bishop Street Health Centre in Limerick City, and follows a Steps format focused on working through the Twelve Steps in turn. It is a closed meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking, in keeping with AA's usual practice rather than being open to the general public. The Steps focus can be particularly useful for members already familiar with the basics of AA who want to explore the programme in more depth. Bishop Street sits close to the city centre, making this an accessible midweek option for many in Limerick. There is no cost to attend and no need to book, since the meeting is entirely self-supporting.
