See!! This is why it should be Limerick Castle!
It is just silly to be named after a king whose name people can't remember!

I was in Limerick last month, which is where King Richard’s castle is located. Had the whistle stop in my head ever since.

Next time you are waking under or over Sarsfield Bridge, Limerick glance at the 1916 monument. You will see remnants of a building... a door, windows and a chimney that surfaced out of a pillar of the monument! This building was used by the operator of the swivel bridge.

I created a feed for the hashtags #treatycity #luimni #luinmí #limerickcity so hopefully we can find some more none poem Limerick related content. It is going to take a minute to populate but should pull in all those hashtags.

What if we use a Limerickism hashtag for the place? Like #Yurt
Any other suggestions? #speirgorm

I'm thinking of publishing my On This Day in Limerick history research. My usual publisher thinks it is too niche but I think locals would enjoy it. What do you think?

I have written several books over the last two decades. Here is a rundown of a few of them, for those new followers who don't know what I'm about.
Some are no longer in print but available Irish libraries through the inter library loan system.
Am I working on a new one.... perhaps

Today's plaque has seen better days, transcriptionin alt text. It is in front of the old Cleeve's factory, O'Callaghan Strand
#treatycity
Metal plaque with text. Cleeves milk factory. Originally built by John Norris Russell as a flax spinning and weaving mill. It was later taken over in 1889 by the Cleeve family for use as a condensed milk factory, once the largest in the country. Cleeves also operated a toffee factory at Charlotte's Quay. The chimney stack was originally 150 feet high (46.7m), reduced by 30 feet (9.2m) in recent years.

While shopping in Ireland can you keep an eye out for this sauce. They sometimes have it in Tesco or Supervalu but it's not in the ones near us in Limerick at the moment.

This exhibition is gonna be great. I'll be out of town, but I hope ye all have a fab time at the preview next Saturday! #TreatyCity
Text reading: "Kerry Guinan’s practice is informed by the way that places are effectively brought closer together by capitalist processes. Using installation, participatory art, performance, and photography, she twins subjects in different locations, revealing political connections across vast distances. This exhibition guides invisible technological and economic connections into presence, gently suggesting that distance can deepen the significance of human interdependence."
