The Kieran Shannon interview - Conor Fitzgerald: 'I genuinely think the run of this Limerick team saved people’s lives'

After dark winters for the hospitality sector, the former dual stalwart is all too happy to be hosting victorious Treaty hurlers and footballers. 

Down to earth: Conor Fitzgerald pictured at his hotel, The Woodlands in Adare, Limerick.

In this tale of his city they’ve been the best of times, they’ve been the most challenging of times.

Last August when Covid prevented the Limerick hurlers having the usual banquet in Dublin or even bringing the Liam McCarthy cup back to Shannonside, John Kiely and his team instead headed back that Sunday evening to Adare and the more casual environs of the Treehouse outdoor dining area of the Woodlands House Hotel.
