Great to see that the city is doing so well. Haven’t been there for a long, long time, but in my memory it was a bit dirty with plenty of neglected houses. Limerick as it is now looks very attractive.
Hi Greg, great walk! The City is certainly better looking now than how I remember it being. Proud of how Irish civil society keeps the towns tidy. For further information on the Limerick Pogroms of 1904, it's worth reading the Wikipedia page on this. Thankyou again for the grand wee walks!!
Glad you mentioned the Pogroms, there seems not only to be some doubt in the minds of some Naked Ireland viewers that it happened, but even open support for it (which is very alarming!). Anyway, always best to focus on the positives, and as you say, the city’s looking good.
It's a sad reflection on Humanity when sectarianism and bigotry raises it's ugly head. Keep strong. Your a Good Man. Your excellent presentations are uplifting. Thankyou.
I am always taken by the cleanliness of these cities. Here in the US there is always obligatory rubbish blowing about if there are more than 6 citizens living nearby. Thanks so very much for another beautiful video. We just love your work.
@@nakedireland , How lovely and ironic you'd mention Switzerland. My mathair mhor (forgive the lack of proper accents above the vowels my computer won't do them) My grandmother would say, "The Swiss have seaclaid (chocolate)and the Germans ispini (sausage) but the Irish have Guinness and therefore they win the Rule. My maternal Grandmother wasn't Irish in the least, she was English, Scots and German but she knew the Gaelic that my Irish relations did not. She wanted to be Irish more than I did and I am Irish via the blood via my father's people. When she broke her back in 4 places she refused all narcotics but instead used two pints of Guinness a day for her pain management. If ever there was an Irish lady by default it was my grandma Chatt.
Thanks again for the great video! Just wanted to point out that for some reason I keep having re- subscribe to the channel not sure what UA-cam is doing?
I have been to Limerick, I was so impressed I hired a car and left 😅. That’s not quite true we did stay in a B&B but it was out of the town. I remember the river but not much else to be honest, I think the ten-day drive across Ireland using only R and unclassified roads blotted Limerick out. I can recommend travelling Ireland by its R roads and lanes, we saw so much more. Some great architecture there I can see, and what was that place with the giraffe outside?
@@nakedireland I had to google it, its 101 101 O'Connell St and a is a multi- levelled cocktail bar and restaurant with an edge, offering four floors of fun in the heart of the city. So now we know 😁
Abbey river is not a tributary. It’s just an offswing. How it was given separate name I do not know. You actually walk 2 more streets after the Abbey to reach O’Connell St. Rutland St. and Patrick St. So O’Connell St. ain’t a whole mile long. Although it is Ireland’s longest Georgian street.
There’s this young UA-camr named Greg. I heard he’s a really good egg. He’ll tell you fine stories Of Ireland’s great glories, Though sometimes he’s pulling your leg.
You’ve heard of the Duke of Aagh Isle, He pens the old Limerick with style, His rhyming is ace Not a word out of place, He’s the best poet for many’s a mile.

Very nice looking place now.

Many thanks for that.

Many thanks as always Timothy. Yes, I must say we have quite clean cities in Ireland, it’s not quite Switzerland, but perhaps better than most places.

Timothy, I’ll drink a pint of the black stuff to your grandma Chatt. A woman of impeccable taste when it comes to all things medicine!
I have been in Limerick for a long time ago, I liked the city and I would like to visit again. Thank you so much for yor great video!!
Hurry back Patricia, Limerick is waiting for you.
Really liked these vids of Limerick. We were there earlier this year. My family are from Limerick.
Did you visit John’s Castle? Great place. I have a film on it too.
@nakedireland yeah we did visit the castle. Great to have a look around Greg.
I found it stunning. Must go back.
@nakedireland just found your channel Greg. Loving the vids. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again for the great video! Just wanted to point out that for some reason I keep having re- subscribe to the channel not sure what UA-cam is doing?
Thanks a million Melissa, and for subscribing numerous times!! Not sure what that’s about. Take care

Good question? Some kind of restaurant I assume - maybe giraffe burgers?

What, no giraffe burgers!!! Disappointing 😔
@@nakedireland ☺️

an offswing eh…don’t know how I got that wrong! 😂
There’s this young UA-camr named Greg.
I heard he’s a really good egg.
He’ll tell you fine stories
Of Ireland’s great glories,
Though sometimes he’s pulling your leg.
You’ve heard of the Duke of Aagh Isle,
He pens the old Limerick with style,
His rhyming is ace
Not a word out of place,
He’s the best poet for many’s a mile.
@@nakedireland 😂😂😂 Thank you.
Sounds to me like another Frank McCourt tale
It’s documented.
You've told nothing but lies just like McCourt did
He's told nothing but lies
Great video. Perhaps dont colour grade the videoso heavily?
Thanks acushla.
Is this a walking tour or clickbait title, either way, was not the history lesson expected?
It’s a walking tour with an interesting title extracted from the text.
Did you visit any pubs 🤔🍺
I’m ashamed to say I didn’t on this occasion.
Nothing shameful here.
Nothing shameful about intimidating people?
Nope
Shameful?
I'm afraid so Patrick.
That’s a shocking and inhuman thing to say, hopefully it’s an attempt at a joke. Although really not funny.
@nakedireland the Catholic Jewish empire has slaughtered Irishman for centuries... jesus was a child trafficker
I was going to say the same exact comment. Well done limerick!
@@nakedireland you don't realise what's going on
