Hi Cheryl,
 
Samuel Lewis' "A topographical dictionary of Ireland" (first published in 1837
and reissued by Kennikat Press in 1970) includes the following entry:
        BALLYBRICKEN - See CAHIRELLY
 
        CAHIRELLY, or BALLYBRICKEN, a parish, in the barony of CLANWILLIAM,
county of LIMERICK, and province of MUNSTER, 8 miles (S.S.E.) from Limerick;
containing 1346 inhabitants.
        A lengthy historical entry then follows.
 
I hope this helps.
