  It’s 900 years church, it’s have to money to maintain I know... but use the name for donations by forcing is not a proper way! You can said €5 is for admission and it’s for maintaining the church. But you said it’s donation and must to donate...

  Beautiful 800+ year old Cathedral, and very reasonably priced at €4 per person. Sadly, we went the week before a new bishop was being added, so there was lots of cleaning going on, but the history and grandeur of this building was still there. I'm not religious at all, but I love churches because they document history, and this one was well worth the visit.

  St Marys Cathedral Built over 800 years ago, you can really feel the grandeur of the building once you step foot inside. The large stone arches and vaulted roof, looms protectivly over it's inhabitants, and upper storey corridors really imparts the importance yet functionality of the site. As well as religious duties this Cathedral also housed the Bishops of Limerick and provided the perfect environment for undertaking any religious business or entertaining any important guests. I can sit here for hours and imagine the services that would have been said here over the last 800 years, Masses, Christenings, Weddings etc... I can imagine the people who once sat and ate in the bishops great hall, people bustling through the upper corridors busy on the days business. It's the architecture of this building that continues to draw me back to it again and again. The Antiquarian-April

  Besuch am 20.08.2015. Man soll eine Spende "Donation" von 4 Euro zahlen. In der Kathedrale von Galway gibt es dafür eine Spendendose. Man zahlt Betrag des Vertrauens. In Limerick muss man das Geld für alle sichtbar auf den Tisch der Kassierin legen. Keine Quittung, kein Rückgeld. Man sieht auch keine Spendendose etc. Wir wollten deshalb mit 2 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern nicht 20 Euro spenden und sind direkt in die Kirche gegangen. Die Kassiererin ist dann meiner Frau hinterhergerannt, ebenso einem meiner Söhne. Die hatten dann keine Lust mehr auf eine Rundgang. Beim Verlassen der Kirche wurde meine Familie übelst beschimpft und die Kirchentür hinter ihr zugeknallt. Die nächste Kirche durfte ich mir dann alleine anschauen...
