THE RICH history of Limerick’s pubs and bars is celebrated in a new book - Taprooms, Taverns and Alehouses: Limerick City Pubs.
William Banks and Mary Immaculate College historian Dr Paul O’Brien have spent the past 12 months putting together the comprehensive guide covering hostelries in Limerick from 1858 to the present day.
They’ve researched over 1,000 local pubs and publicans who have traded in the city - and have even uncovered the names of publicans trading in the 1870s.
The result of their efforts is a 270-page book, containing over 400 images of pubs in Limerick from yesteryear.
The launch was hosted by Mother Mac’s in High Street.
All proceeds from the book, priced at €35 for a paperback, €45 for a hardback, go to Down Syndrome Limerick.
