Because the estuary is shallow, the county's most important port is several kilometres west of Limerick city, at Foynes.

 Book Review, 9/8/2000 - The Texas Observer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Limerick has gathered these speeches into an edited collection, Something in the Soil, a smorgasbord of sixteen essays from which readers may sample the array of wit and wisdom for which she is best known.
Limerick sets out her rules for becoming a successful, accessible historian, teacher, and lecturer in three brief essays in Part V. One, first published in The New York Times Magazine, is a mordantly funny send-up of jargon-heavy, academic prose ("Why choose camouflage and insulation over clarity and directness?" she asks).
Limerick is far more clear when she says, up front, that she wrote these essays and presented them publicly as a kind of "field-testing of the New Western History" to "redeem higher education." "Field-testing," she explains, entailed running her ideas by non-historians, talking to them, and presenting the abovementioned talking points.
