Limerick sits at the top of the estuary of the River Shannon and was originally known as King’s Island in pre Viking and Viking days.  When the Normans arrived they redesigned much of the city including building King John’s Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral both of which still dominate today.

Limerick attracts tourists and is served by nearby Shannon Airport.  King John’s Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral are two of the main attractions though there is still plenty to be enjoyed besides these two ancient monuments.

Hunt Museum is housed in the old customs house and contains a collection of antiques collected by dealers John and Gertrude Hunt.  To interest tourists there are several seasonal tours  – boat tours on the River Shannon, an historical walking tour and an Angela’s Ashes walking tour around the places mentioned in Franck McCourt’s famous novel.  And don’t forget St John’s Cathedral, it has the tallest spire in Ireland.

There are two sides to Limerick, the old English on the southern end of King’s Island where you can find King John’s Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral and the Irish town on the southbank which is home to older streets and the new economic district, Newton Pery.

If you’re staying over, there’s lots of places to find a bed and there’s a good night life.

Verses
It’s hard to think of Limerick without considering the humorous verses of the same name.  The links to Limerick the city are tenuous but it is widely believed there is some connection.  Of course they may derive from an earlier form of nonsense poems.

In a limerick the first two and the last (fifth) lines rhyme and the third and fourth lines rhyme.  Here’s an example:

A clumsy young fellow named Tim
There once was a fellow named Tim
Whose dad never taught him to swim.
He fell off a dock
And sunk like a rock.
And that was the end of him.

Or take a look at a limerick penned by Castle Comfort Stair Lifts – just follow this link.

This form of verse was popularised by Edward Lear in the 19th century although he never referred to the verses as limericks.
