History
The first mention to this accountancy firm appears in the newspapers in 1905, when it operated under the name C. W. Metcalfe & Co. In November 1920, Hugh Lilburn took over the practice. In 1941, he and his colleague James Leslie Enright were made full partners and the company name was changed accordingly to Metcalfe, Lilburn and Enright on 23 May 1941. It was one of the leading accountancy firms in Limerick city in the mid-1900s. In 1976, the firm merged with Craig Gardner & Co., which was subsequently absorbed into Price Waterhouse Coopers.
