Limerick - O'Connell Street

Southwest of Irish Town extend the later additions to the city of Limerick. The main street is O'Connell Street, almost 1mi/1.5km long, which is now the heart of the city. At the end of the street stands the O'Connell Monument, honoring Daniel O'Connell, who won emancipation for Irish Catholics. This part of the city is celebrated for its handsome Georgian houses with their brightly painted front doors.
