Way back in February when I booked the trip on Orbitz, I selected a hotel in Limerick to stay in. Limerick wasn't far from the airport we were flying in to, and it seemed like a pretty central location to everything we wanted to see. The Clarion Hotel Limerick had received good reviews and it had a waterfront location, so I booked away! Later on I decided to Google "Limerick", and kept reading stuff about it being nicknamed "stab city". Great! So I had no intentions of leaving the hotel and wandering about Limerick ever. But, the husband had different ideas. We did a lot of walking and exploring on the streets of Limerick. And we didn't get stabbed or witness any stabbings. In fact, people we met in Dublin said that the "stab city" nickname was all political in order to make Dublin look better. Limerick isn't that bad. HA!
Limerick isn't the cleanest of towns. There is a major problem with dog poop on the sidewalks. There was graffiti everywhere ("true artists", as one local explained to us). But the River Shannon was pretty, the people were nice, the beer was cold, and the food was decent.
