I love the mural depicting St. John's Brass and Reed Band on Garryowen Road. We have so many great examples in the city!

Awful. No obvious tactics, no leadership evident, no skill set in evidence. No amount of spin will sweeten this one...

Just noticed...should read Brendan Kennelly...

Keep it as Kerry Airport as there will be division as to whom it should be called after. Someone like Tom Crean would have a good shout for naming rights as well. A case could be made for John B Keane, Brenda Kennelly, Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh amongst others.

Another stop for us is 'Little Heaven'. Our grandchildren from the USA visited here for the first time last summer.

Not sure how you define gentleman but it was once defined as 'a person who can play the bagpipes but doesn't'...

If your train has a major malfunction,
You can try to obtain an injunction;
Your delay is a blip,
Not in Limerick but Tipp,
Despite it being called Limerick Junction.

Fork with chicken wings??? Very posh altogether!

I'm of a certain age and, as a native of West (Wesht?) Limerick, I would have to put a word in for Nash's red lemonade.
