Limerick fans to man the home front at big screen Munster street party

MUNSTER’S red army yesterday got a call to man the home barricades for the big Heineken Cup final against Toulouse on May 24.

Mayor of Limerick Cllr Ger Fahy said while tens of thousands would travel to the Millennium Stadium, he wanted stay-at-home fans to come out and cheer on the team via two big screens, which will stream live into the stadium. The screens are being sponsored by Limerick City Council, Limerick County Council, Shannon Development and the Irish Examiner.

Two years ago scenes from O’Connell Street were flashed on to the stadium screen to spectacular effect.
