Did You Know?
Nobody is certain why the five-line limerick carries the city's name — the connection appears in the 1890s, possibly from a party song with a refrain about coming up to Limerick. The form itself is older than the name.
The clock: Limerick keeps Irish time. The Treaty Stone on the riverbank marks where the 1691 treaty ending the Williamite war was signed — and promptly broken.
