Not everything that JP does turns into gold, anyone ever go to the attraction?

The building is amazing and rightly should be turned into something new and exciting Limerick badly needs it.
But as. Rugby museum it was good awful. No jerseys or memorabilia really just projectors showing stuff thought it was a waste of money

This was stupid idea from the start and then for jp to try and “gift” it to the council was ridiculous.
I’m sure the building can be used for other things. But a full time rugby museum was never going to last.
Put the Limerick hurling team in there for the summer. Lemonade stands and taco stalls. Keep them busy.

He wants the council to open it up until the Ryder cup so he can ego stroke when the big wigs come over then he’ll dump the expense of running it on the city. John Moran is right in not taking it onto the city’s books as it’s not an attraction that people will go to more than once.

Turn it into a Marina market type venue, Limerick could do with a hub like that.

Not sure why everyone is saying it was shite, i went and thought it was great. Museums that aren’t interactive are terrible, and this was really interactive.

JP can come back and pay his taxes or fuck off altogether. Sick of this hoor buying favour and Limerick people & Councillors thinking he’s a saint. Trying to offload this Celtic Tiger 2.0 vanity project money drain as a gift is an insult too far.

The *‘criminal’* closure?
Really, JP?
Maybe, if you hadn’t been avoiding paying tax in Ireland since the 90s, Limerick Council would have the money to keep your vanity project open. But you have, and they don’t.
