JP McManus to fund Limerick rugby museum

Planning permission is to be sought for a rugby museum in Limerick, backed by JP McManus and Paul O’Connell.

Limerick wants to establish itself in world rugby tourism with an International Rugby Experience museum.

Funded by a €10m grant from McManus, the advisory board behind the centre is being headed by former Munster, Ireland, and Lions captain, Paul O’Connell.
