Plassey, County Limerick
Plassey is an area of County Limerick on the River Shannon, near Castletroy and Limerick City. It was originally a large estate of land owned by Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive, and named after the Battle of Plassey 1757, part of the British Conquest of India. Following Irish independence, these lands became state property. In the 1970's a technical college, which later became Limerick University, was built at Plassey.
