Limerick FC deducted 26 points to finish bottom of First Division

The decision was made by the Club Licensing Committee.

Limerick FC have been deducted 26 points after the club entered examinership.

That means Limerick will be deemed to have finished last, one point behind Wexford Youths in the table.

"Following the appointment of an Examiner by the High Court in September 2019, Limerick FC has been sanctioned by the independent Club Licensing Committee and deducted 26 points.
