I first met John Collins many years ago, when I interviewed him on my History Show, which was on local radio at the time.
The show ran for two hours, without ad breaks and such was John’s knowledge we could have reminisced for another couple of hours. John had deep interest in all things historical and he was an avid reader and great historian.
In the intervening years we became good friends and John was one of the first people to become a member of the newly founded Limerick Historical Society in 2013. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of William Street, Limerick, where he grew up. He did an evening walk along William Street and gave a lecture to our society, shortly before Covid restricted our activities.
We re just eager to go and try and improve and make up that ground – Barron rearing to go for 2021
