    I'll try and give an honest appraisal of Limerick City.....

    What I like about it
    1. The mocking sense of humour that you get from some of the inner city natives, it can be quite amusing and entertaining.
    2. Thomond Park, King John's Castle, The Hunt Museum.
    3. Its size, not too big, not too small.
    4. Its layout - easy to navigate.
    5. Henry St - A fine straight and wide, mostly one-way street, newly renovated and a model for all other city streets.
    6. Dooradoyle - as a suburb its got nearly everything, great pubs, the Crescent, library, good gyms, very few traffic problems and near the ring road.

    What I dislike about it
    1. Its over-run with scumbags, sorry but it is.
    2. Its lack of intimacy - it doesn't have any quaint, narrow shopping streets/cafe areas like Cork or Galway and therefore doesn't attract tourists.
    3. The niteclub bouncers - very ignorant and nearly all on power trips, the worst in Ireland.
    4. The Gaelic Grounds - a white elephant if ever I saw one, a 30k capacity stadium would have done fine. Also the Mackey Stand is a disaster!
    5. Turning its back on the Shannon - although recent attempts would seem to suggest otherwise, the city does largely turn its back on the river, instead of facing onto it and developing the docklands into a trendy spot.
    6. William St - self explanatory.


    Your dead right there about the bouncers!!!absolute plonkers, burn the lot of them...

    Yes, like a lot of the city's good spots, its technically in the county, but in reality its a city suburb. Mind you, from my own experience, most of the people now residing there were originally country folk.
