J.P. MCMANUS DONATION
Like all GAA clubs in the country, our local club are grateful for the ongoing generosity of J.P. McManus. His latest donation will be of huge benefit as small rural clubs are finding it increasingly difficult to raise funds. This was a magnificent gesture on the back of Limerick’s All Ireland success. Can we expect a similar response from our many multi-millionaires to deserving causes?
