Thomond Park fixtures boost profits at hotel

The general manager of a Limerick four-star hotel yesterday described the impact of Munster rugby as being very important to the success of the hotel.

The Limerick Strand Hotel overlooking the River Shannon is a 10-minute walk from Thomond Park and benefits from the 10 or so Munster fixtures at the park each year.

Accounts just filed to the Companies Office show the hotel recorded a pre-tax profit of €27,718 in the 12 months to the end of Dec 2010.
