  • A grim portrait of industrial Limerick, the third-largest city in the republic, was painted by Frank McCourt’s novel Angela’s Ashes (see Frank McCourt). It’s not that bad now. The city centre has good restaurants and pubs and a pleasant atmosphere. Historical sights include the imposing King John’s Castle, built in 1210, containing a display on the town’s 800-year history. Don’t miss, either, the Hunt Museum, a magnificent collection of Irish antiquities inside the beautiful 18th-century Old Custom House.
