Mount Saint Vincent Convent, Limerick.
Convent sales are becoming more rare in Ireland. In the 1990’s they were a regular feature as convents and monasteries around the country downsized due to dwindling numbers. Nowadays there are not so many but O’Donovan and Associates of Newcastlewest, Co. Limerick will offer a clearance auction of the contents of Mount St. Vincent Convent, O’Connell Avenue, Limerick on August 31 at 11 a.m. Viewing is from 9 a.m. the day of the sale. Alongside antique and period furniture there will be statues, pedestals, church pews, industrial washing machings and some prints. All lots are to be sold without reserve.
