The firm behind billionaire businessman JP McManus’s ill-fated International Rugby Experience venture in Limerick recorded losses of €1.05m last year.

In December of last year, the International Rugby Experience shut its doors 19 months after opening in May 2023 to much fanfare and endorsed by the likes of Ireland and Munster rugby legends Paul O’Connell and Keith Wood.
