McManus chips in with €2m for Harrington scholarships

JP McMANUS is to honour the golfing success of Padraig Harrington by ploughing €2m into golf scholarships at NUI Maynooth, named in memory of Padraig’s late father, Paddy Harrington.

McManus is a close friend of the British Open champion, who commented last night: “I know my father would be delighted with the excellent progress made to date with these scholarships which will greatly benefit Irish golf in the years ahead.”

Golf is one of the key sports in the NUI Maynooth portfolio of sports scholarships.
