About Limerick Bridge
The National Inventory rates Limerick Bridge Regional, one of 126 in Naas. Limerick Bridge dates from 1790–1810.
Limerick Bridge is a fine stone bridge that forms a picturesque feature on the Grand Canal (Herbertstown Branch) and is one of a group of bridges on the section of that canal that passes through County Kildare. The construction of the arch that has retained its original shape is of technical and engineering merit.

Questions about Limerick Bridge

Yes: rated Regional (record 11901903).
Can you visit Limerick Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Limerick Bridge built?

Is Limerick Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
