Leamy House on Upper Hartstonge Street in Limerick City centre was to be sold this week by Allsop’s, the auctioneers who deal with distressed properties.
The listed building featured large in the Pulitzer Prize winning childhood memoir. McCourt’s account of brutal poverty divided readers between those who loved the book and those who felt that he had unforgivably maligned the city and its people.
The building provides for the Frank McCourt Museum together with a former snooker/pool club located at basement level.
