Munster and Ireland legend Paul O’Connell is hopeful the International Rugby Experience he is finally seeing to fruition in the heart of Limerick can be a big part of the city’s regeneration.

As chairperson of the advisory group that has overseen a multi-million euro project first imagined by JP McManus more than six years ago, O’Connell was part of the welcoming committee when the doors of the International Rugby Experience were opened yesterday to invited guests from Limerick’s hotel, hospitality and tourism sectors.
