I think that this pub is known locally as Mrs. Fiola Radcliffes Lounge Bar & Beer Garden.
I photographed this building, a public house, because it featured a small statue of the Virgin Mary and a larger statue of a bird of prey [which may have a small fish in its beak].
Athlunkard Street is a street on King's Island, in Limerick City. The street ends at the Abbey River, at the O'Dwyer Bridge. On its other end, after its intersection with Mary and Nicholas streets across the way from St. Mary's Cathedral, Athlunkard Street continues on to Matthew Bridge under the name Bridge Street.
Via the O'Dwyer Bridge and Athlunkard Avenue in Corbally, Athlunkard Street in Limerick leads toward the Athlunkard Bridge in Corbally, across the River Shannon from the townland of Athlunkard, County Clare, the Irish name of which, Áth Longphuirt, meaning "ford of the longphort," refers to a 9th-century Viking longphort (defended ship encampment) once located at that ford over the Shannon.

Pubs History (history)
his pub was owned by a member of my extended family but I have never been in it [my mother, a Regan, claims that here father brought me there when I was young but I have no recollection of visiting].
It could be described as a small [tiny] traditional pub located in a beautiful spot beside St Peter’s Bridge near the town of Trim. MY mother claims that it was popular with professionals who wished to avoid visiting pubs in the actual town.
Currently it claims to be Ireland’s second oldest pub (next to Sean’s Bar in Athlone) but my mother was unaware of such a claim. It now has a beer garden with a view of the ruins of St John’s Priory which is close by.
Killybegs is situated on County Donegal's South West Coast about 18 miles from Donegal Town. The picturesque approach to the town is dominated by many gentle slopes rolling down to the beautiful Donegal Bay. It is Ireland's premier fishing port and the majority of it's 3000 population are employed in the fishing industry. During the fishing season cargo ships flying flags from all over the world are a common sight in the modern harbour. For decades Killybegs was famous for it's famous hand-tufted carpets, examples of which can be seen in The Vatican and The White House, to mention but a few. For the traveller Killybegs could be described as the gateway to the villages of Kilcar, Carrick, Teelin and Glencolmcille and some of Ireland's most rugged and beautiful scenery and well known Gaeltacht region.

As I sat with my wife in Tommy Doyle's, an Irish pub in Harvard Square (now closed), this woman came in with the guy on her right. When I saw her I thought my jaw would drop. She looked, walked, and even gestured exactly like an old girlfriend of mine, a girl I went out with for a couple of years (off and on) in this very neighborhood -- in the 1960s, 40 years before! The resemblance was so astonishing that for a moment I thought she might actually be the same girl!
But she was far too young. Seeing her sitting at the bar, I wondered if she spoke with the same odd, slightly croaky inflection that my old girlfriend sometimes did. I wondered if the two women might be related.
I pointed her out my wife before we left. Outside, Linda went off by herself to a bead store, which meant I had at least an hour to myself to stroll around Harvard Square taking pictures. I started up JFK Street -- and realized that when that old girlfriend and I started seeing each other the eponymous JFK was still alive -- and president! (And JFK Street was still Boylston Street!)
