Limerick FC owner claims to have invested €6-7m over last 10 years into failed bid to save club

The lifting of court protection for Limerick FC brings to an end the club’s decade-long association with businessman Pat O’Sullivan, who today claimed to have put between €6m and €7m into the club since his first involvement in 2009.

His provision of funding to the club that year was followed by a takeover in 2010, and hopes for a new era in Limerick football subsequently saw years of mixed fortunes on and off the pitch.
