market quarter

The Milk Market was built in 1830 in the centre of the region that was then Limerick’s Irishtown, using the foundations of Limerick’s city walls as for two of it’s own. Country produce is still sold in the originally agricultural market on Saturdays, and on Fridays it becomes a market for Arts and Crafts. Buskers are common on both these days. Recent shops built around the market area are open six days a week, as well as a fish and chips shop a café and a Art Galley which is open on market days.
