King Johns castle in Limerick City (sorry - but it's close!) has recently been redone. I heard some tourism guy on the radio, and they are trying to make them into a kind of package deal for people to come down and spend more than an afternoon in the area.

As it happens, because of the weather warning. We made other plans, but hope to make it over to Bunratty at some point.
