McManus to be honoured for services to GAA

MILLIONAIRE business man J.P. McManus is to be honoured by GAA president, Sean Kelly for his service to the Association.

The Limerick man is one of 21 recipients of Presidential awards to be presented at a gala function in Cork on Sunday night. The awards, instigated by Mr Kelly last year, honour those who show outstanding commitment and dedication to the GAA at all levels.

Mr McManus is being honoured for his extraordinary €5m present to the Limerick County Board last year, which helped alleviate a crippling debt from the development of the Gaelic Grounds.
