I visited beautiful Co Kerry, including Listowel, four years ago. That impressive church at the end of Church St is a Protest Church of Ireland house of worship. Now it is abandoned with only a handful of Protestants remaining in Listowel. What happened to Listowel's once large Irish Protestant community? Why are they gone? What happened to them? We thought it such a beautiful church!
Their numbers continually declined and the last clergyman,Deacon Wallace died in the 1980's.The church was turned into a theater and is doing well.It was built in 1819.
There is a Catolic majority also most of my family grew up here I love this place!!!
I was there, John B. Keane's pub, just last month! I like Listowel but the traffic IS bad though not as bad as Asdee I think.
nice video
