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/haye…

A missed opportunity to commemorate O’Connell while attracting visitors to our city.
Dr Paul O'Brien@FearStairLmk
Very disappointed in the lack of interest from officialdom in #Limerick in marking the 250th anniversary of Daniel O’Connell’s birth. Limerick was the first city to have an O’Connell monument. Only event: walking tour by an ents company that specialises in discos and debs balls.
