Munster’s pride of Lions to receive special honour

THE SURVIVING 22 Munster Rugby Lions - and the three Wallace brothers, Richard, Paul and David in particular - will be honoured at a corporate lunch at the Maryborough House Hotel, Cork, on January 27.

It is already guaranteed to be an enormous success, with tables of 10 at a cost of €1,000 almost sold out. Each guest will receive an exclusive gift and a souvenir programme is also being published to mark the occasion.

The master of ceremonies is, fittingly enough, Cork’s own Michael Corcoran, RTÉ’s rugby commentator.
