Limerick Literary Festival (formerly Kate O’Brien)

It originally started as The Kate O’Brien Weekend in 1984 to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of Kate O’Brien. We continue to celebrate the legacy of Kate O’Brien each year and her impact as a writer. 

Building on this significant history, the Limerick Literary Festival seeks to promote Limerick nationally as a place of literary excellence and to provide a platform where readers can meet their favourite authors and other readers.
