Hi World, I'll be in Limerick on Wednesday 21st October. Is there anything interesting happening clubwise? A place for the over 25s to hang out is where I'm after. Or a younger place playing r'n'b/80s/90s?

Thanks in advance.

I'll be working while my husband and our 5 and 4 year olds will be free to roam--for four days. What can they do? There's a pool at the hotel, so that's a couple of hours a day. There's a park, so if the weather's nice, a little time spent there. Is there anything else in walking distance, or a short drive away? (My husband is GPS-challenged and a tentative driver with two kids on the other side of the road....) Thanks for any ideas!

Earlier this evening I asked for information about getting from the city of Limerick to the airport in the city of Shannon, in order to make an Aer Lingus flight to London that leaves SHANNON Airport at 0845, on September 3rd. I requested information on reliable shuttle service, taxi or bus, that was reasonably cost effective.

While I appreciated the detailed reply I received, the directions were to the airport in Dublin and not Shannon. Could I try my question again, please? Thank you.

I would like to know how one can reliably get from Limerick to Shannon Airport to catch an Aer Lingus
flight that leaves for London at 0845. Is there a shuttle service, a public bus, a private car/taxi to hire
that would accomplish this in a reasonably economical way? When answering, please include the name
of the service, the time schedule, cost and any other pertinent information that would enable us to make
a reservation. Thank you

From Limerick, We're planning a couple days for excursions in county clare. The more I read about Bunratty, Adare, etc. the more they sound like tourist traps rather than somewhere I want to spend my few precious days in Ireland. So now we're thinking maybe a day trip to Galway. It looks like a 1 1/2 hour bus ride (can anyone advise CityLink vs. Bus Eireann?)
We are more interested in people and life than in old castles (at least where it requires the better part of a day) does this seem like a reasonable use of time? Is Galway fairly compact and walkable (child and grandmother included in group)
Thanks!

Hello, Can anyone help us about finding groceries (yogurts, bread, cheese, fruit, crackers) in Limerick and generally (Ennis, smaller towns) -- are there "chains" of stores? What are they typically called? thanks!

I have just booked some cheap flights for me and my wife for her birthday to shannon airport for 2 nights and was wondering where was best to stay. Ennis or Limerick or even shannon. We would like something to explore during the day and we would like somewhere with some nice restuarants and we like a drink so lots of pubs too. Any info would be great.
Thanks

how much is it to park in Limerick station for a day

Anyone know of a supplier that can ship Mead to the US? I remember having some in Ireland when I visited there but can't find it here in the States...

1. Does the Jurys Inn have elevators? If not, does it have employees who would help carry luggage?
2. Does loud noise from your bar disturb the hotel guests?

3 How far away is the University?

I know one chinese superstore on Henry st. (probably). Are there any others shops in Limerick? Regards, Mike.

Would anyone be able to provide me with the names of some bus tour companies that provide day tours to the Cliffs of Moher and to Cork? I will be in Limerick next weekend and would like to take these tours while I am there.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I know there was a post about this earlier in the year but I am wondering if anyonen can point me to a website which may list some, or even a, hostel in Limerick? I can't seem to find any. Since I have a car I will probably end up in a nearby town instead but I would still be interested to know if there are actually any hostels in Limerick....

All I am intending to stay in Limerick at Hilton [old Jurys Hotel] during October. What is there to do, enjoyment of all types, any type just trying to get the experience. I am from Jamaica so it would be allot different.

we will be flying into shannon and staying at a bandb on ennis road in limerick, is there bus and or taxi service at airport to get me to ennis road and how expensive??? thanks

I will be arriving in Shannon and wanted to know if there is a train in Limerick to Cobh.
Thanks for any help

Where do you go out and eat in Limerick if you're a vegetarian? And what is the situation like if you go to a random pub and ask for food without meat, fish or seafood in it? I guess you should be able to get something to eat in most places even if it's not on the menu?

I will be visiting the Limerick area in early June. I will be traveling with my 15 year old son and his friend; they both are avid skateboarders. I would appreciate any advise relating to skate parks in the area, places where skaters gather, rules relating to skating there ( where you can and can not skate ) and any laws relating to street skating in Limerick. I want this to be an awesome trip for them without the hassle of having to search for a place for them to skate and without worrying about breaking laws...(there are so many here in the USA that restrict skateboarding....wonder if it is a problem in Ireland too )..Also the location of skate shops in the area..I really would appreciate any information or advise.... Thank you...Renee

Hello, I will be visiting Limerick in April for a few days with my 2 daughters aged 8 and 4. Can anyone recommend attractions, places etc that they might find enjoyable? Where do the locals take their kids for fun? Any ideas welcome, even down to the good play areas, swimming pool etc, and anything to do with animals! Thanks so much for your time, I appreciate it!

My friend and I are traveling to Limerick to visit my sister who is studying abroad and we are looking for things to do while she is in school. We are willing to take a bus or taxi somewhere for suggestions outside of limerick.
Any Suggestions are apprieciated. Thanks in advance.

HEY!
Me and some of my girlfriends are going to Limerick for 10 days and the FREE place we had to stay at fell through! I can't seem to find any hostels in Limerick that will allow me to book online! I also heard the hostels in Limerick were dangerous. Any suggestions on somewhere very cheap to stay? Will they allow me to book them when I get there? Are B&Bs cheaper? We leave in 3 wks-HELP!

I will be in Ireland in February. I have an early flight out of Shannon, so I'd like to be as close as possible. Should I stay in Limerick or Ennis the night before? Do you think the easiest way to the airport is by bus? Or maybe shuttles from hotels are available? Thanks.

I am looking for a tobacco shop in Limerick that sells cigars, can anyone help?

Hi

We are looking to relocate to Ireland. Can anyone advise me on the cost of living over there? How much is the rental of a 2 bedroom accomdation? What is the average utility of a 2 bedrooms apartment (2-3 persons is staying there)? how much is the monthly price of broadband internet (unlimited access)? How much is the mobile phone monthly plan?

Also what does company pension mean? Can it be withdraw upon termination of service or leaving of the country? When can it be withdraw.

Please help!

Thank you so much

We are looking to relocate to Ireland. Can anyone advise me on the cost of living over there? For example: the amount spend on transportation, grocies etc for a typical fmaily of 2 person per month. Thank you.

I'm looking to get transport from Limerick to Waterville (on the coast, so I'm told), since my family happens to be from Waterville, NY, USA. I've seen no tours out of Limerick there for the specific day we can go (a Thursday in July). I've inquired online for private tour guides/transport but got no response. I'd rather not drive, nor have my 70's+ parents drive in Ireland, the Yanks that we are! Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks!

I'm lookin for a friend who are interested in learn Spanish by email.
I'm a secondary school Spanish teacher and I want to improve my English.
Next summer I'll go to Limerick.

My husband & I are planning a trip to Limerick (I was told it was the best place to stay when flying into Shannon Airport). We only have 3 days with no car, & need to find bus or train tours, to see the sights. I was told to go to Adare, but have no idea how to get there. I was also told that Ennis is a nice place to visit the sights, along with Bunratty castle. Also, Galway was mentioned. Anyone have any ideas as to how to spend 3 days when one is not driving? I'm also wondering how much is there to do in Limerick itself? We are thinking of staying at the Clarion, for the walking distance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

myself and 3 male friends are going to Limerick for a weekend soon - we will be going to the races on the sunday but wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a safe and pleasant time(particularly where to enjoy an amiable evening drink) - any MUST sees or must dos would be gratefully received.We will be there from sat - Monday
thank you
