Me and that same Italian lady went to Limerick in June. She hated it. She said it was just a small town dressed up as a city. She also hates Galway and Belfast.
āIām looking for the best chipper in limerickā 600 posts later. I went to Donkeys as recommended by some on here. It was very nice. 25 likes in a matter of minutes.
I forgot to mention the beautiful Cobh Cathedral, which was a huge unexpected delight. Iām forced to accept that itās an even more beautiful building that my native Monaghan Cathedral. The location is surely the best for any cathedral anywhere in the world.
ah yeah the view out the harbour from where the cathedral is situated is truly outstanding , id say it was flat calm out there today as well- there wouldt be much activity on the harbour in january tho save for the Grimaldi lines car carrier and the banana boat in every week or so- its some sight seeing a liner go out there on a summer evening.
locals by and large would be harmless enough but you need to be aware that there are huge differences in background in the town from the snobs who go sailing , watch rugby and send their kids to rochestown to everyone else who plays soccer and the very large utter dangerous knacker population from the council estates that you wont experience anywhere else and would never want to get involved with - but shur who goes anywhere to meet the local people - dublin would never attract a visitor if that was the caseā¦
its not part of cork tho, on a map yes but nobody local ever sees it that way - its a totally different animal altogether with its own way of life but its a grand town and well worth a weekend break
when sheās 13 then sheāll be able to do that all by herself drinking a flagon of cider out the deepwater quay on a friday night with 10 john player blue
