That’s where we ended up going. It passed a few hours. Brightened up as the day went on.
We were there earlier, was a grand day out until the rain.
Plenty to do for the kids that didn’t cost extra
This is quite a long thread about today’s meeting between the mayor & the council but I enjoyed reading through it.

It has been, is, and will always be ‘King John’s Castle’. That historian Sharon Slater is trying to push for this woke name and she can politely fuck off.
Incorrect. It was historically known as Limerick castle until recently… No such thing as king John’s castle.
Esteemed historian Liam Irwin imparted that knowledge onto me frequently.
Liam is incorrect. No whitewashing of history is needed.
The Kilmallock one is King John’s Castle

You do know how history works right? Sources are used… As in multiple sources… The Shannon development our its precursor came up with king john.
Jesus this is some bloody sad story. He was probably one of the best underage rugby players in Limerick ever.
V sad. Signed into the munster academy from school and just never showed up… literally
Was on some of the first ireland 7s teams and got 3 month contract with munster when he got clean for about a year. An absolute waste of talent. Really nice fella addiction is a terrible curse
Yeah didn’t he go back playing with the cookies for a while when he was about 25? Thought he would get a sniff with Munster again then. He was an unbelievable schools player
Heard that story.
His friends tried everything too. Such a pity.
Ya under foley. Heard he rinsed Andrew Conway in training.
He did, rocked up training one day with a pair of boots while still livong on the streets. The coach at the time was the SCT coach when they won the senior cup. He had a 3 month contract during the summer i think when foley was in charge
I think he travelled with the squad to France when axel passed, and spiralled out of control again. Good family addiction is classless

No was was gone after that stage, it was around the start of it. He played half the season with us but you could see him goimg back into the old ways. We sorted him with a place and transport from matches to avoid drinking. For a small man he was powerful.
