How safe is Limerick?

I have only lived here for a few months now, but I have felt relatively safe. I’ve had a couple of encounters with weird/creepy men at bus stops, but generally I feel pretty safe here! Walking around at night isn’t too bad. One thing to note is that the bus service stops around midnight.
