THIRD-level scholarships worth up to €160,000 and financed by JP McManus were last night presented to eight students who completed their Leaving Certificate exams at CBS Sexton Street in Limerick.

TEENAGERS in Limerick are to be given a say in how their city is run. A new forum is being launched which will provide a platform for budding politicians to set out their views on issues affecting the city.

JP McMANUS, the man who never liked school, yesterday received a doctorate from the University of Limerick.
