Limerick is expecting a Sam bonanza from Saturday’s All-Ireland senior football semi-final battle between Mayo and Kerry, which will reignite in the Treaty City.

I’VE read reports of former Fianna Fáil Taoiseach Albert Reynolds recently enjoying “the craic” at Galway Races.

LIMERICK will feature on New Zealand prime time television next month as part of the build-up to the November 18 Munster v All Blacks game in Thomond Park.

WHILE in Ireland recently I was highly amused to read your Taoiseach’s tribunal testimony — stashes of cash with little idea of how much was in each; a finance minister who did not operate a bank account, relying on third parties to cash salary cheques and leave the cash on his desk; fables of large transactions in foreign currency, but no recollection of the currency involved; stories of whip-arounds and dig-outs, non-repayable loans/debts of honour; of compliance with the tax authorities and then of possible non-compliance.

A DREAM Munster rugby package has gone on sale in Limerick for a good cause.
