The Bulletin  

"The Bulletin,” Vol. 70—No. 3614  

Wednesday, May 18, 1949

“Where the  

River Shannon Flows,”  

Stands Limerick’s  

St. Mary’s  

IMERICK, the third largest city in  

Eire, stands on the bank of the River  

Shannon and combines the attractions of  

historic capital with the advantages of  

centre of modern enterprise. Of Danish  

origin and, like most seaports of Ireland,  

was taken by Brian Bora when he  

assumed the overlordship of Munster,  

and thus it became the capital of Munster  

kings.  

strong fortress was built here by  

King John (1199-1216), who entrusted it  

to the stewardship of William de Burgh.  

In 1316 the city was occupied by Edward  

Bruce, and in the Civil War it sustained  

two sieges, that of 1641 when it was  

taken by the Irish, and that of 1651 when  

Hugh O’Neill held out for six months  

against Ireton, who died here of the  

plague in the same year.  

The most famous siege of Limerick  

was, however, that of 1690, when it was  

unsuccessfully assaulted by William III  

with 26,000 men, and it was during this  

siege that Patrick Sarsfield, the greatest  

and most unselfish of Ireland’s heroes,  

rose to fame in blowing up the siege train  

and later arranging an honourable peace.  

One of the many ancient and historic  

buildings in Limerick is St. Mary’s  

Cathedral, pictured here, which was  

founded in 1179 by Donald O’Brien,  

though altered and restored many times  

in succeeding years. The fine square  

tower and the parapet battlemented in  

the Irish style are the most prominent ex-  

terior features of the building.  

Among the many interesting monu-  

ments to be seen within the cathedral are  

the tombs of the Earls of Limerick, and  

the chancel is the elaborate polychrome  

monument of Donough O’Brien, Earl of  

Thomond (d. 1624). The choir is notable  

for its old carved misericords, rare  

feature in an Irish church, and its ancient  

tombs, including that of the founder who  

died in 1194.  

From the 120 foot tower there is an  

extensive view of Limerick, the Shannon  

valley and the surrounding hills.
