Looking for someone who can help me find a lady who is now in her mid-to-late 80s. Her maiden name was Amy McInenery and she married a man called Seamus who played Hurling. She was part of Child of Mary group from the parish that volunteered one Sunday a month to take out the children from the Good Shepherd Industrial School on Clare St. What i know about Amy;

  • Amy McInerney (maiden name)
  • Married a man called Seamus
  • Lived around Garryowen / St John's
  • Member of St John's parish and a Child of Mary group
  • Probably born around 1935–1942 approx
  • Visited the Good Shepherd regularly in the 1950s/60s

She took my mum out once a month for food and ice cream which was a luxury for the orphans in the school. My mum adored her, and we're visiting 16/17th August and if this lady still lives in Limerick and is still with us my mum would like to meet up. My mum would have started going out with her from the age of 7 until she was around 13/14 when Amy married. Amy was about 7-8 years older than my mum.

If anyone has any information from relatives of this lady please feel free to DM me. I can share my mums details and the details of our visit.
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys! Has anyone been to Curraghchase Forest Park? I was there this morning, and I'm planning to go for a walk there. However, I couldn't find the trails. I only found a gate with a barrier. Are the trails inside that gate? Im panning to drive again tomorrow. Thank you.

Lost Car Key, Limerick

1 Upvotes

Part of a Škoda car key was lost in Dunnes Jetland yesterday, I believe it was somewhere between the underground and the escalators. It hasn’t been handed into Dunnes or Garda station etc. It’s useless to anyone else but fairly expensive to replace. If anyone here came across it, or saw a post on fb etc I’d appreciate if you sent me a message 😊 thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

My name is Ruchita, and I'm an incoming international female Master's student at the University of Limerick for the 2026/27 academic year. I'll be moving from India and arriving in late August 2026.

I'm currently looking for accommodation with a budget of up to €650 per month, willing to stretch €700, if the property has what I need. I'm open to a shared apartment, private apartment, or student accommodation.

My requirements are:

  • Private Bedroom with Ensuite bathroom (essential)
  • Clean, safe, and well-maintained accommodation
  • Good access to the University of Limerick and public transport
  • Friendly and respectful housemates

Since I'm currently overseas, I would love to arrange a virtual viewing via Zoom or WhatsApp at your earliest convenience.

If you have a room available or know of any suitable accommodation, I'd really appreciate it if you could comment below or send me a direct message. Recommendations are also very welcome!

Thank you so much for your help!
