‘It brings an end to a long history of Limerick in the League of Ireland’

An 83-year history of League of Ireland football in Limerick is set to end after court protection for Limerick FC was withdrawn.

The club entered a 100-day examinership in September with debts of approximately €490,000 but the removal of that protection leaves Limerick with few options: voluntary liquidation, a petition from their creditors calling for liquidation, or an 11th-hour miracle.
