I might be able to set you up with a tour of nearby Castle Oliver if the lord of the manor is not visiting from his home in Oz.
Very good. Plenty of WOI sites in that region anyways. Iâd say it would be worth staying there for a night, couldnât be any worse than other options in the region. I heard some mention of a âboutiqueâ b&b type place on the radio last summer, sounded decent.
In fairness b&b doesnât look v boutique
Thatâs for nothing. âŹ220k asking price (presume theyâd have got for âŹ150-170k) for a city centre pub with three apartments upstairs. After doing extensive renovations the outlay shouldnât exceed much over âŹ250-275k youâd imagine. The purchase comes with pub license surely?
Iâm doing a war of independence tour and it would seem like a nice place to stop before launching into the Knocklong - Soloheadbeg leg of the tour.

Iâll save you the journey to Limerick. This is all youâll see of limericks involvement in the WOI.
Iâm not sure whether itâs the formatting or the factual inaccuracy of that post which bothers me the most.
Are you the one that likes the timber floors ?
Nice. Ballyhoura country. Very quiet. A few pubs, Beefyâs used to have one there. Good walking or biking country. Five miles down the hill and youâre in the balbec.
Dont forget the barracks in Kilmallock and john Lynchâs grave.
And the site of dromkeen ambush.
@SHANNONSIDER could have filled you in about the Christmas shootings at Csherguillamore house over in Grange
Fagan

Life was peaceful there.
A relation of Shannonsiderâs is the subject of the statue below in Bruff.

Davy Crockett?

Tom Barry referred to West Limerick IRA as the âmost resourceful Brigade in the countryâ when taking their lack of weaponry into account, and held them up as an example to other Brigades who he felt were not pulling their weight during the WOI. West Limerick Brigade were well organised since 1915/16 and caused havoc during the WOI in the West
East Limerick Brigade caused ructions on their side aswell sure, had the RIC afraid of their lives and gave the Auxies/Tans the run around
Pallasgreen were always hatchet men
