    Wasn't sure where to post this, but I think this may be the best.

    The father recently read an article about some IRA/trouble related business around Limerick (county mainly) and would be interested in reading more. Does anyone know if there are any books covering the subject? Specifically around Limerick county. Online won't do as he's too old school to use tech.

    Thanks in advance!

    You could try O Mahony's books, give them a ring they might be able to suggest something. They have lots of Limerick books online.

    As simple as that is, I didn't even think of it. Sound!

    There was a good programme on recently. Should be on the rte or tg4 player. It was mostly about Richard mulcahy and the race between pro and anti treaty forces to take over positions and barracks in Limerick once the British moved out. It was very good. I'll see if I can find it later

    There was a novel from the 80's that had characters from the IRA meet in the Munster Fair Tavern. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dancing-Floor-Michael-M-McNamara/dp/0352305320

    I think Brian Hanley has a book about Co Limk and the IRA if I'm not mistaken.
