Limerick is just a 20 minute drive from Shannon Airport and is the capital of Ireland’s Mid-West region.

It’s noted for its shopping, its dining and entertainment, its historical significance, as well as its contributions to the arts and is shortlisted to become European Capital of Culture 2020!
Conquered by the Vikings in the ninth century, this bustling modern city has a rich medieval past, which resounds around its ancient streets.
Limerick has something to offer everybody thanks to its many cultural, historical, architectural, sporting, shopping and business activities. With almost 50 per cent of Limerick’s population under the age of 30, it is a vibrant, living, cosmopolitan city.

The County of Limerick is a place of rural charm and great beauty, with a gently undulating landscape that varies from the mountains of Ballyhoura in the Golden Vale to the Shannon Estuary.
