Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Limerick's history stretches back over thousands of years. It is famed for pigs and poetry, but so far only the surface of its past has been revealed.

The A-Z of Curious County Limerick looks at the forgotten tales, such as the story of the deer that ran amok through the streets of Limerick City and the man who was sentenced to work in a bog. Many of these stories of the area were well known and talked about at the time but did not get passed down to recent generations.

Each letter of the alphabet leads to another weird or wonderful tale, from animals and their amazing antics, to Zepp the travelling chip salesman.
