Limerick and the Story of Migration
The history of Limerick, like the history of Ireland more generally, is inextricably bound up with inward and outward patterns of migration. Limerick’s past was marked by striking examples of immigration and settlement: from Scandinavia in the ninth and tenth centuries; from England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; from the German Palatinate in the early eighteenth century; from the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth century; from Hungary after the rising of 1956.
