JP ‘embarrassed’ at Limerick honour

JP MCMANUS has received many racing trophies but when he was bestowed with a special medal yesterday, his response was “I’m embarrassed.”

The medal bearing his name was added to the historic mayoral chain of Limerick in honour of his contribution towards the social, community, education and sporting life of the city.

Mr McManus, who is already a Freeman of Limerick, received this latest civic honour for winning the 2010 Aintree Grand National with his horse, Don’t Push it.
