Jack's Limerick links
I'll be adding to this list of Limerick links as I go along. Sort of a work in progress. My aim to list useful links to county LIM or LIM resources. The aim is to be useful and interesting rather than comprehensive. If any of these are incorrect or you have a suggestion, let me know.Nearly all of these are external links so you'll be leaving this site. Bookmark it before you go! Regarding any commercial services, let me add that this is not an endorsement. The listings just to let you know what is available.
You might also want to check out more general sites such as my the Irish Links or my Surname links or my tips and advice sections.

Practice Safe Hex
If your computer is on the internet (and yours is if you are looking at this), you need to be careful that it is not infected with viruses, spyware, and so forth. Because computer programs often use hexadecimal numbers this of often called "safe hex". But it no laughing matter to have your computer compromised. Many of us depend on running a computer program to give us safety.
