My @Limerick_Leader column this week explores the little known story of Harold S. Mahony, the most recent Irish winner of the @Wimbledon Men’s Singles in 1896. His mother was from Pallaskenry, Co. #Limerick

Delighted my research on No.11 Parnell Sq East now features in Poetry Ireland’s & Irish Heritage Trust’s beautifully restored Dublin HQ. No.11 is one of the most important Georgian townhouses in Dublin.

Only @LimerickCouncil would celebrate demolishing a traditional, 19th century, limestone railway bridge. The added music, voice over and smiling group photo at the end says everything about their treatment of built heritage. If it was scheduled to go, why the crass video?

The IHSA is greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Deirdre McMahon, one of the stalwarts of our association. Deirdre was instrumental in keeping the association going over the years. She will be sorely missed (arrangements to follow).

Ballyneale House, Co. Limerick for sale for €725k. Sold in 2007 for €8m. In recent times it was offered for €2.5m. It seems that vacant possession is not possible. The house was owned by John Cox, a notorious middleman during the famine years. #Limerick

Can we have a Catherine Hayes statue or mural in #Limerick? The Opera Square project is named for her, yet the city has never honoured her with a permanent monument. 2026 will mark 165 years since her death. @LimerickCouncil @limerick_2030 More info: dib.ie/biography/hayes-cathe…
