RE. walks etc. along with Curraghchase, there's also Loch Gur (short walk(s), but nice). There's also the grounds of Glenstal Abbey, and finally, the Clare Glens.

I know its outside the county, but Killaloe/Ballina is also well worth visiting on a dry day! Some nice pubs too - especially Gooser's eating house..mmmm!

actually there are occasional events going on at bunratty castle, and if you have kids they might pick up some history.

only gripe i have about bunratty though is their old style photographs they do are a bit pricy,

UUUMmmmmmmmmmm Goosers!:). Yes they have plenty of walks in Curraghchase. But as MtM said they're are also walks in Lough Gur (well signposted out Childers Rd.) And Glenstal has nice gardens ... but if ur going all the way i recommend going to a service in the church. Its spectacular!

im not sure really, it was just something I was tinkering with that didnt really work for me. most likely change it back when I get a chance.

the thing is that not all the built up areas of Limerick are in the City technically. so I wanted to have all the city stuff in one section and all the nearby county stuff in another.

like everything on the web it aint written in stone, it is a work in progress.

It is hard to read tone form text

What I do believe is important is that we do not give an aready negative view of Limerick.

That is why I asked billy to © sticky this.

Billy can I suggest © you remove our last few posts to keep this post clean.

Nice linkage, kind sir. Good to know. Although I doubt I'd go there again. I'd be too afraid that the blokes who went there when I was 15 would still be there, propping up the bar, and talking to impressionable girls about System Of A Down
