'It's kept me young' - Munster journey brought to book with supporter's photography

Ivan O'Riordan's book 'The Brave And The Faithful' captures a decade and a half following the province.

Ivan O’Riordan’s wonderful book celebrating 15 years of Munster Rugby through his photography is as much a testimony to the Limerick man’s enthusiasm as it is to the players he has captured across the 160 pages of “The Brave And The Faithful”.

It is also the 81-year-old’s way of raising funds to benefit two causes close to his heart, The AWARE Organisation and Limerick Youth Services, both of which are Munster Rugby’s nominated charities this season. O’Riordan had already raised €17,000 through his photography before The O’Brien Press published his work in this format, with a foreword by Paul O’Connell, and royalties from its sale will also find their way to those charities with more than 2000 copies already sold.
