Limerick, Ireland

Bourke House This building is known as Bourke House. It was occupied by Alderman John Bourke in 1641 according to the civil survey of 1654. It is also reputed to be the remains of a medieval stone residence said to have been built by the O'Brien's after Donal Mór donated his palace as the site for S

t. Mary's cathedral. Also known as the Castle Friary, it was used as a Franciscan penal friary from c. 1730-1780. In 1824 the house was cut through to allow for the construction of Athlunkard Street.
