COUNTY LIMERICK

Arms (crest) of Limerick (county)

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The principal colours of the arms are green and white, the sporting colours of the county. The Celtic cross is for the many churches of the County and can be seen as the city surrounded by the countryside.

The crest depicts Patrick Sarsfield Irish commander at the Siege of Limerick.

The motto "Remember Limerick" was used by Irish soldiers fighting in continental armies, and refers to the English breaking of the treaty of Limerick.
