Limerick chief steps down

LIMERICK FC chief executive, Andrew Mawhinney, has stepped down from the post.

Club sources revealed Mawhinney took the decision in an effort to devote more time to other business opportunities. However he will remain on the club’s board and will serve as commercial advisor.

Mawhinney helped the club acquire permanent offices and a potential training centre in Meelick, Co. Clare while he also hired former Shamrock Rovers manager, Pat Scully, and secured a major sponsorship package with local and national organisations.
