The River Shannon Ireland's premier waterway, flows majestically from the heart of the country through the city of Limerick to the Atlantic Ocean. From its origin as a Norse settlement in the year 922. Limerick has become the fourth largest city in Ireland, a thriving seaport and industrial centre and a place of major historical interest. The historic treaty Stone, the fortress of King John's Castle, and the medieval St. Mary's Cathedral are but a few of the many reminders of the city's political and ecclesiastical history. |
