The anticipation of King Edward VII’s visit to Ireland has sparked discussions and speculation about whether he will include a visit to Limerick. Some express hope that unforeseen circumstances will prevent the King’s visit, while others believe that he should be warmly welcomed due to his consistent friendliness towards the country.

Comparisons are drawn to King George IV, the only English monarch who seemed to have been received with overwhelming satisfaction in Ireland. The article highlights that Limerick is not included in the Royal program, possibly due to the events that transpired the previous year. However, it is noted that many citizens of Limerick are extending invitations to the King, leaving a possibility that he may consider visiting the city.
