Students re-enact castle siege to tackle logistical problems

UNIVERSITY of Limerick, civil engineering students are looking back more than 800 years to see how modern logistical problems can be solved.

The students will re-enact the siege of the 13th century King John’s Castle using their own specially designed and constructed siege equipment as part of problem-based learning.

The “siege” will take place this Friday in Castle Street, Limerick, between 11am and 1pm.
