Woman fined for operating unlicensed rugby flights

MUNSTER rugby fans crowded into a Limerick courtroom yesterday to support Pamela Hickey, the woman who takes them on low-cost flights to away games.

Some supporters hugged the 31-year-old mother-of- one, after she was fined for operating as a tour operator without a licence and conducting a business as a travel agent without a licence.

The court heard she sold rugby packages under the name of Munster Sporting Club from a crèche she operates in Limerick.
