Note 1: "It was inevitable, of course, that with the increasing popularity of yachting on other coasts the pastime should develop in the [Shannon] Estuary. In July 1962 seven boat-owners, five from Limerick, one from Foynes and one from Newcastle West, got together in a Foynes local and simply formed a club. So Foynes Yacht Club was born."

Note 2: "This George Halpin designed lighthouse was established in 1855. Sited at the mouth of the River Fergus, it replaced a forty-year-old beacon. The work was slowed by adverse tidal conditions, which covered the rock with 8 feet of water at high tide. Beeves Rock was converted to unwatched in 1933 and came under the jurisdiction of the Limerick Harbour Commissioners in 1981."
