A huge banner dedicated to iconic rugby star Paul O’Connell was unveiled in Limerick City yesterday afternoon.

The ‘Thanks Paulie’ banner was organized by Limerick City and County Council as a mark of appreciation to the Limerick native.

O’Connell will ply his trade in the Top 14 next season following his high profile move to French club Toulon.

With the Rugby World Cup firmly on the horizon, O’Connell will be pivotal to Ireland’s hopes of a successful run in the tournament.

The IRFU permitted their captain to cut short his Munster contract to pursue his move to the European Cup winners.
