Host of celebs line out for rugby union

THERE was a celebrity line-out for Munster and Irish hooker Frankie Sheahan yesterday as he married long-time girlfriend Norma Murphy.

Thurles turned into Tinseltown as well-known figures from the worlds of rugby, golf and business gathered to greet the bride and groom.

Long-stemmed, white lilies with ornate, silver foliage on high pedestals either side of the long aisle scented the air of the Assumption Cathedral in the centre of the town as the 300-plus guests assembled for the special day.
