Family-friendly towns around Limerick

Hi everyone! We are looking for family-friendly towns around Limerick to check out in hopes of moving soon. My husband can transfer to a location in Limerick (or Dublin, but that's not for us). We are vegan, will be buying a home outright (very thankful we have this option), would love to not be in a city, prefer smaller towns, and I'd love to find a nice community for our children (12 & 2). Thank you!
