PIC: Amazing Paul O’Connell mural unveiled in Limerick
By Kevin Murphy
A giant mural of Munster and Irish captain Paul O’Connell has been unveiled in his native Limerick today.
The giant image is proving a big hit with locals - particularly the cheeky message for his new club Toulon.
The rhyyme warns the French club that O'Connell is:
“Tall and proud, Munster to the bone.
But Toulon don’t forget, he’s only on loan!”

O’Connell enjoyed hero status during his time with the province and the latest tribute is painted on the gable end of a house on Musgrave St.
It follows the giant poster on O'Connell St last month.
