This contemporary, energy efficient, single level property offers spacious and flexible living accommodation with the highest levels of finish, measuring to an impressive 227sq m (2443 sq. ft). The focal point of this fantastic home must be the spacious open-plan living, kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling living area and floor to ceiling windows spanning the width of the room that enjoys uninterrupted and wide-ranging views across the Shannon to Carrigogunnell Castle and beyond. Passive Efficiency - ‘Passive’ house design results in low heating and hot water bills, while maintaining a comfortable draught free environment, with great indoor air quality. Energy efficiency is achieved through a high level of air tightness and the installation of ‘Passive House’ certified components. These include a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery System MVHR (Nilan); air to water heat source pump (Nilan); triple glazed aluminium-clad windows and external doors (Internorm) and heavily insulated (Kingspan) floors, walls and roof. Underfloor Heating, driven by the air to water heat source pump, provides supplementary heating for the Winter months. This combined with thermostats in each room, ensure indoor temperatures remain comfortable and constant throughout the year. Location - The property is conveniently located, just off the N18, which connects seamlessly with the M7 Dublin, the M18 Ennis, Galway and the M20 Adare, Cork. By car, Limerick City, is a 15-minute drive with all its amenities including well regarded secondary and primary schools such as JFK, Salesians, Ardscoil Rís and Villiers. Shannon airport is just a 15-minute drive and University Limerick is 20 minutes. Cratloe and its renowned forest park are 5 minutes away, as is the local Cratloe National School. Accommodation - Accommodation - The interior is full of light with far reaching, uninterrupted views over the Shannon River, maximised by the floor to ceiling, south facing, triple glazed windows. There are high quality fixtures and fittings throughout including large format, porcelain tile flooring with under floor heating, and Flos LED lighting. Welsh slate (Blue Bangor) adorns the new roof. The externally zinc clad front porch leads into the entrance hall. A wider than average door opens into an open plan, vaulted ceiling living room/dining room/kitchen, that constitutes the heart of the house. The contemporary kitchen by SieMatic is a ‘handle less’ design with integrated fridge, dishwasher, oven and large induction hob (all Miele). This is complemented by a large island with Corian worktop, stainless steel sink and Quooker tap. The outside is easily accessed through a sliding door directly onto the south facing patio. Beyond the kitchen is a separate walk in pantry. There is also a utility room, with stainless steel sink, washing machine, dryer and freezer. The services room which houses the MHVR unit and acts as a small store is also located to the North side of the house. On the South side with floor to ceiling windows and extensive views is a family room, with store room off. This room could also be used as a guest bedroom. A shower room is located adjacent. The boot area with coat rack and bench leads to the triple glazed back door. Opposite the front porch entrance is a study/ double bedroom. Floor to ceiling south facing windows maximise the views out to the Shannon Estuary. Similar views are seen from the master bedroom, with en suite. There are two further double bedrooms and large family shower room. Sanitary ware throughout is by Laufen with Hansgrohe rain showers fed by a pressurised water system. Outside - To the right on exiting the back door are the double doors to the store room. This is integrated within the house’s footprint and is lit overhead by a triple glazed skylight. It also houses the pressurised cold- water tank and supplementary sanitary hot water tank. Most of the 0.4 acre is set to lawn, with a walled boundary (Liscannor Stone) to the front and one side, the remainder hedged. Access is through a larch clad electric entrance gate with adequate parking for 3/4 cars. A matching side gate leads to the back door. The south facing patio (Kilkenny limestone) is a semi courtyard with the opening to the Shannon view. A larch clad soffit overhanging the patio is designed to regulate the solar gain into the house. When the sun is high during the summer, the overhang provides shade, in Winter when the sun gets lower, shade becomes minimal and allows the windows to receive the solar gain.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO.W.S. 1,371 Witness John McCormack, Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick. Identity. Commandant Second Battalion, East Clare Brigade. Subject Irish Volunteer activities, Clonlara, East Clare, 1915-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2686 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JOHN McCORMACK Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick formerly Commandant, 2nd Battalion and Captain of Clonlara (A) Company, 2nd Battalion, East Clare Brigade. I was born on 23rd September 1898, at Cappavilla House, Clonlara, Co. Clare, where my father was an extensive farmer. I believe it was while I was attending the Christian Brothers Schools in Limerick city that I joined the Fianna Boy Scouts. About the commencement of 1917, I became a member of the Irish Volunteers when a company was established his in Clonlara by Michael Brennan immediately after release from jail in England. I was the first captain of that company. Though I served right through the Anglo-Irish struggle up to the Truce in July 1921, as a company and battalion officer and as a member of the East Clare flying column, and participated in all the major engagements of that brigade, I do not feel fit enough to attempt an account of my experiences in the fight for independence. There was one encounter, however, in which I happened to be in charge of the I.R.A. forces about which my memory is quite clear and I am prepared to record all that I know about it.

  • Curses on the Mcinerney Family of Co Clare: a Folktale from Sixmilebridge
    N.M.A.J. vol. 50, 2010 1 Curses on the McInerney family of Co Clare: A folktale from Sixmilebridge LUKE McINERNEY An early nineteenth-century folktale from Co Clare is translated and published for the first time. The historical context and main themes of the story are outlined and a possible historical basis is suggested. A translation of the original Irish language is provided and a comparison made with other tales from the area. Introduction The fortuitous recording of a folktale in 18251 has been preserved amongst the collection of family documents relating to the O’Briens of Leamanagh and Dromoland, Co. Clare, in the National Library of Ireland.2 The collection comprises a miscellany of verse, Ossianic poetry and tales in English from the oral tradition compiled by Sir Lucius O’Brien in c.1842. What is remarkable about this particular folktale is that it was committed to paper prior to the establishment of ethnographic folklore as a field of research. The folktale was recorded almost a century prior to the work of notable Co. Clare folklorists such as T.J. Westropp and Séamus Ó Duilearga, and prior to the Ordnance Survey visitation to Clare in 1839 which provided a ‘digest’ of folklore and topographical history of the county. Antiquarian interest in the folklore of Co. Clare has a strong tradition. It was noted by John O’Donovan in 1839 when compiling the Ordnance Survey that the ‘ancient traditions [of Co. Clare] are very vivid’.3 O’Donovan remained enthusiastic that the history of Clare was not extirpated due to transplantation and upheaval but still resonated on account that the “ancient proprietors were never driven out”.4 A landed Gaelic gentry, though anglicized but conscious of its past, were sometimes sympathetic to rural traditions.
