Limerick Tip
by goingplaces
We were walking down the sidewalk in Limerick and a guy walked up to us and asked for a donation for his charity. I asked for information on his charity, and he pointed behind us. There were at least a half-dozen college kids bundled up on a bed made of blankets, covered in plastic to protect from the rain that was coming down, and they were waving at us. They were having a sleep-out to raise money for a rape crisis center. I made a donation and asked the guy to take our picture--and then we all jumped onto the bed with the students.
Special Limerick Memories
by lauriejeanne
I spent Christmas with friends there and my fondest memory is definitely the warm plum pudding with brandy butter we had. I'll never forget how good that was!!!
There is nothing like the warmth of Irish hospitality. I was treated like a member of the family in every way!
A Coat and maybe an Umbrella
by irishjon25
As like most of Ireland the weather can change in a flash. May to August are generally the best times for sun but please be advise that this is when the kids have their holidays so things may be a little more busy than usual. Just make sure that you have a coat at hand should the weather change.
Gaelic Hurling and Football
by orlikins
I dont personally follow G.A.A. sports but there are plenty of websites about Limerick's prowess in the field. However Limerick would be one of the few counties that excel in both hurling and football. For example, you almost never hear of the Dublin hurling team, but most Dubs could tell you anything you wanted to know about Dublin GAA football!
Aerobatics over Co. Limerick
by dracko
On the off-chance that you're a pilot, there's a small airfield, Coonagh, just outside the city. Limerick flying club operates out of there, and they offer 'intro-to-membership' flights. They got a C150 Aerobat, among others, and an aerobatics instructor on staff, so if you're lucky, you might be able to get some aerobatic time in while in the neighborhood. Coonagh is rumored to have one of the shortest paved strips in Ireland, 416m (just under 1400Ft), so practice your shortfield landings before you head over.
