Old drinking haunt of Harris calls last orders

‘LAST orders’ were called for the final time last night in the private club bar in Limerick where Richard Harris supped his first pint of Guinness.

Limerick Boat Club, which dates back to 1870, did not renew its drinks licence at the city district licensing court yesterday.

The club’s membership down the years included Richard Harris, Burl Ives, Brendan Bowyer and political figures including legendary ex-education minister Donogh O’Malley.
