Paul O’Connell, Munster Rugby and Lions star

“There is a massive buzz and a great social scene here in Limerick. My rugby friends in Cork and Dublin think Limerick is brilliant; there are so many students and young people."

"You look at Limerick the weekend of a Munster game, you could nearly take a holiday here in the middle of winter from a Friday to a Sunday evening, it is just an incredible weekend.”
