Limerick support for Páirc Uí Chaoimh ‘unanimous’

Limerick wholeheartedly supported Páirc Uí Chaoimh hosting of the county’s Munster SHC final against Cork at Tuesday night’s decisive meeting — despite chairman Oliver Mann’s pictured comments that the call did "not make sense".

Mann also said on Wednesday the decision to stage the game at the Cork venue would deny several supporters the chance to watch it.

“I am sorry for all the people who won’t be able to go see Limerick and Cork play,” he told Limerick’s 95FM. “We spoke with the Munster Council about the capacity of Páirc Uí Chaoimh and I said it wasn’t sufficient for the anticipated attendance. This decision does not make sense.
