Prestigious Kilmoyle House in Limerick destroyed in arson attack

A fire, which broke out at 11.30pm on Thursday, gutted much of the three-storey sandstone building which had lain idle for more than 10 years. In recent times people occasionally gathered there for cider parties.
Since it was built in the 1830s, Kilmoyle, better known as the Bishop’s Palace, was home to a succession of Catholic leaders of the diocese of Limerick.
