Have been out in Limerick plenty times and never had any problems. I reckon the bad rep it has got, which is probably fair enough, kinda keeps the city centre calm. Most guys won't start anything cos u don't know if the other bloke has a gun/knife or something. Good city to go out in. Lived in Galway for a while too and Eyre sq was like Irelands biggest boxing ring after the nights clubs closed.

Newcstle West is the roughest place in Limerick with regards to a night out... the foreigners drive around jumping people in isolated areas and the local scumbags roam the streets all night armed with screwdrivers etc... and its the ones who are 16/17or so you'd wan to be most wary of... in the city itself the only trouble you'd find would be a normal lad with a tendency to think he's Russell Crowe after a few drinks and decides he'd like to windmill a few lads...

Spent a weekend in Ballyhaunis once,the whole town was bladdered spoiling for a fight.
One fella in an Arsenal shirt was blind drunk from dawn till dusk for three days,saw him in four different pubs and he got into a brawl in each of them,mental.

the thing about limerick from my experience is that it is not that rough at all at night.
in fact i would go so far as to suggest that there is no air of menace about the place at night. as has been pointed out the bigger towns in tipp are an enigma. stayed in thurles the night before the clare cork match last year. never again. complete dump of a place.

Indeed you are generally much safer in a city than a rural town. In the cities the scum element tends to hang out in their ghettos or in the suburbs, and rape, beat, and pillage their own. In rural towns, the scum element don't have a ghetto to go to and take over the town. Never in my life have I seen an iota of trouble here in Montenotte.
