Limerick is well known and famed for its bacon production, "everything but the squeak was used". It is known that Queen Victoria's Christmas
dinner was not complete without a Limerick Ham on the table. Many of the households in areas such as the Abbey kept pigs along with the more
traditional chickens although the vast majority of the pigs were imported from the local environs.The four great bacon factories in Limerick were
Matterson's, Shaw's, O'Mara's and Denny's each competing for local, national and international trade out of Limerick city during the 19th and
early 20th Centuries. It is said that Limerick fed the British Army during the Boer War. It is The Sporting Capital of Europe with it's population
vigorously supporting Gaelic Games , Soccer and especially Munster Rugby whose Stadium Thomond Park dominates the skyline. It was home
to Frank McCourt the author of "Angela's Ashes" telling the story of his upbringing in the City in the 30s and 40s. Today the city has a growing
multicultural population.
