Russell Crowe praises Limerick council

GLADIATOR star Russell Crowe has praised the decision of Limerick City Council to honour his great friend, Richard Harris.

The council has agreed to commission a portrait of the Limerick hell-raiser which will be hung in City Hall.

Crowe, who described Harris as his hero, has written to Cllr John Gilligan saying the gesture to honour Harris was a “fine and noble” one.
