THE LIMERICK BOYCOTT - DR ANDREW JOYCE

The Limerick Boycott Also known as the Limerick pogrom, was an economic boycott waged against the Jewish community in Limerick, Ireland, between 1904 and 1906. Documents indicate that even before 1904, concerns existed in official circles regarding activities of Jewish traders selling recycled tea and getting a lien on land and property. This prompted Dublin Castle to investigate the activities of the Jewish community in 1903. In January 1904, the Jewish community in Limerick experienced a backlash.
