Plans are in train to establish a women’s museum in Limerick City after the donation of the former International Rugby Experience building to the State by billionaire businessman JP McManus.

Culture minister Patrick O’Donovan will on Tuesday update Cabinet on the donation of the building to the State by Mr McManus, with the minister to propose its use as a new branch of the National Museum of Ireland.
