Marie, Newpaper was published in Dublin to be sure, but the newspaper was reporting on a meeting that occurred in the City of Limerick (at the Corn-Exchange Building on 20 Oct 1840) and also refers to an earlier meeting that took place at Trades' Hall, Arthur's-quay on 7 Oct 1840 and I would assume that most (if not all) of the members of these Guilds either lived in the city proper or close enough that they did business there every day. I will be posting the rest of the text of this article soon, (my eyes are pooped at this point though) so it must wait a bit! Does anyone know if the Corn-Exchange building in Limerick is still around? Have they made it into a theatre or something?

Thanks Kathy for all the work you've done on these guild lists. I appreciate the effort you've put in. ----- Original Message ----- From: <littlehouseantiques@att.net> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com>; <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 10:31 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] Newspaper chronicles > Marie, > > Newpaper was published in Dublin to be sure, but the newspaper was > reporting on a meeting that occurred in the City of Limerick (at the > Corn-Exchange Building on 20 Oct 1840) and also refers to an earlier > meeting that took place at Trades' Hall, Arthur's-quay on 7 Oct 1840 and I > would assume that most (if not all) of the members of these Guilds either > lived in the city proper or close enough that they did business there > every day. >
