It started to rain so I got on a bus, at random, and ended up in Raheen and, to be honest, I had expected the destination to be a bit more interesting than it actually was. The upside was that I had a great discussion with the bus driver who gave me a lot of advise regarding places of interest on the bus routes.

The bus stop was at St. Nessan's Church which is described as follows: "This Gothic Revival style church retains a strong sense of its original formal design. The imposing and dramatic church, located at a busy junction near to Limerick City, dominates the streetscape illustrating the church's position within the community. The building exhibits architectural and artistic merit in the stone carving and details as well as the stained glass windows. The church is dedicated to Saint Nessan. It was built for Fr. Jeremiah Halpin, and completed for Fr. Michael Casey. Stone over church door inscribed: 'Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. Et in Honorem Sancti Nessan. 1845-1945'. Plaque to north extension reads: 'St Nessan's Church. Restored and Extended 1992. Most Rev. J. Newman Bishop. V. Rev. Joseph Dempsey PP'."
