St. Marys Cathedral, Limerick
At the junction of Nicholas Street and Bridge Street in Limerick, stands St. Mary's Cathedral. The full title of this Cathedral is the Cathedral and Parochial Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Cathedral was built in 1172 by Donal Mor O'Brien, the last King of Munster. The original plan of the church was in the form of a Latin cross. Additions were made to the Cathedral, two centuries later, during the episcopate of Stephen Wall, Bishop of Limerick.
At the time of the religious revolt of the sixteenth century, the Cathedral passed out of Catholic hands. Catholic worship was restored, however, during the Confederate Wars and the short ill-fated reign of James II.
Tourists will find excellent documentation of historical remains within the ancient Cathedral itself. Most noteworthy relics of the past are the ancient altar stone used when Mass was celebrated in the Cathedral, and the splendidly carved misericords in the choir.
These miserichords are unique in Ireland as the only surviving pre-Elizabethan carvings, and probably date from 1480 when Bishop Folan restored St. Mary's.
Of the 21 carvings, 16 are different, representing such mediaeval emblems as a two-legged one-horned goat, a griffin, a sphinx, a wild boar, an angel, a head resembling Henry IV, a dragon biting its tail, antelopes with intertwined necks, a swan, an eagle, the Lion of Judah with a dragon, and a cockatrice holding its tail.

Limerick Soviet 1919 - Ireland's unique historic event
from wiki
The Limerick Soviet (Irish: Sóivéid Luimnigh) was a self-declared soviet that existed from 15 to 27 April 1919 in County Limerick, Ireland. At the beginning of the Irish War of Independence, a general strike was organised by the Limerick Trades and Labour Council, as a protest against the British Army's declaration of a Special Military Area under the Defence of the Realm Act, which covered most of Limerick city and a part of the county. The soviet ran the city for the period, printed its own money and organised the supply of food. [1]

Creation
Money printed by the Limerick Soviet.
From January 1919 the Irish War of Independence developed as a guerrilla conflict between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) (backed by Sinn Féin's Dáil Éireann), and the British government. On 6 April 1919 the IRA tried to liberate Robert Byrne, who was under arrest by the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) police in a hospital, being treated for the effects of a hunger strike. In the rescue attempt Constable Martin O'Brien was fatally wounded and another policeman was seriously injured. Byrne was also wounded and died later on the same day.[2]
In response, on 9 April British Army Brigadier Griffin declared the city to be a Special Military Area, with RIC permits required for all wanting to enter and leave the city as of Monday 14 April.[3] British Army troops and armoured vehicles were deployed in the city.[4]
On Sunday 13 April the general strike was called by the city's United Trades and Labour Council, to which Byrne had been a delegate. Running the strike was devolved to a committee that described itself as a soviet as of 14 April. The committee had the example of the Dublin general strike of 1913 and soviet (meaning a self-governing committee) had become a popular term after 1917 from the soviets that had led to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
Media attention
A transatlantic air race was being organised from Bawnmore in County Limerick at the same time, but was cancelled. The assembled journalists from England and America took up the story of an Irish soviet and interviewed the organisers. The Trades Council chairman John Cronin was described as the father of the baby Soviet. Ruth Russell of the Chicago Tribune remarked on the religiosity of the strike committee, observed the bells of the nearby St. Munchin's Church tolled the Angelus and all the red-badged guards rose and blessed themselves.[5]
Effectiveness
The general strike was extended to a boycott of the troops. A special strike committee was set up to print their own money, control food prices and publish newspapers. The businesses of the city accepted the strike currency. Outside Limerick there was some sympathy in Dublin, but not in the main Irish industrial area around Belfast. The National Union of Railwaymen did not help.
Liam Cahill argues The soviet attitude to private property was essentially pragmatic. So long as shopkeepers were willing to act under the soviet dictates, there was no practical reason to commandeer their premises.[6] While the strike was described by some as a revolution, Cahill adds that: In the end the soviet was basically an emotional and spontaneous protest on essentially nationalist and humanitarian grounds, rather than anything based on socialist or even trade union aims.[7]
After two weeks the Sinn Féin Lord Mayor of Limerick, Alphonsus O'Mara, and the Catholic bishop Denis Hallinan called for the strike to end, and the Strike Committee issued a proclamation on 27 April 1919 stating that the strike was over.

President Michael D.Higgins visits St Munchins Community Centre
facebook.com/StMunchinsCommunityCentre.
The President comes home - President Michael D Higgins was warmly welcomed to Limerick when he made his first visit to the city since his election. The Limerick born president visited St Munchin's Community Centre in Kileely, which he visited on his campaign trail in September. President Higgins said he made a deliberate decision to return to the city and particularly to the centre, which he hailed as the very best of Limerick. I made a deliberate decision to come back, particularly to St Munchin's Community Centre because I was so impressed by the huge range of services that were going on here when I came in September, the president told me. The president also declared that he had a certain other set of reasons for being here as well, this is the parish I was baptised in. Linda Ledger, manager of the centre, said she was thrilled to host the president. It is brilliant for the centre and what is great for us is we did it on our terms, we didn't put on any mock show, we did it in our hall, we did the food ourselves, the flowers, and it just shows you what we do every day, we can do it, there is nothing we can't do here, she said. Over the last five years this centre has assisted their community to develop a sense of pride and reach its full potential by responding to needs and issues as they arise. By providing a central, accessible and visible hub for local community activity, in response to local demand they continue to expand its services and facilities such as a restaurant, florist, hairdressers, launderette and computer classes to name a few. They also provide a meeting space for local groups and address isolation and social exclusion for the older members of the community. They are currently looking for the last piece of funding to complete their renovation and need your help now!

Anhid Graveyard in County Limerick.
Anhid graveyard is located just outside the town of Croom. This graveyard is cleaned by a very hard working local committee every year, and is currently in immaculate condition. There is only One gable wall that remains of the old church. The two rivers, the Maigue and the Camogue join up behind the graveyard, making this a very scenic location.
The oldest headstone to be found here was to Fr John Cantillon, who was buried in Anhid church in 1723.There is a headstone in memory of Daniel Kennedy, Parish Priest, St Munchin's, who died 15th September 1878. There are three tombs on the left-hand side of the graveyard, and one on the right.

For any copyright, please send me a message. A young man has been charged over the death of an 11-year-old boy found lifeless in a house. Brooklyn Colbert was discovered with multiple injuries. A man in his late 20s was charged tonight and will appear in court on Friday. Police in Limerick, Ireland, said that, for operational reasons, they weren't releasing details of how Brooklyn died. Speaking earlier on Thursday, Fr Donal McNamara of St Munchin’s Parish, said the whole of Limerick was praying for the boy’s parents and extended family. He was an only child and it must be shattering for his family. The sadness is palpable around the north side of Limerick city, and all over really, Fr McNamara said. Everybody is so hurt and so upset over the whole thing. It’s horrendous, an awful tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the young lad’s family. The people of the north side are so loving and welcoming and they are all so hurt over this. I’m thinking of the boy and his family and I’m praying with them in spirit. A private wake took place at the boy’s family home Thursday night. His funeral mass takes place 11am, Friday, at St Saviour’s Church, Glentworth Street, Limerick, with burial afterwards in the nearby Mount St Oliver Cemetery. Forensic officers have carried out an examination of the property. Chelsea Smyth, who lives close to the scene, said: I know the families (involved) and it’s hurtful to hear of the loss.
