Limerick Ireland Links

Jack's Limerick Ireland links

I'll be adding to this list of Limerick Ireland 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 and will open a new window or tab with most browsers. But if 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.
