In the heart of Limerick city sits a newly-built six storey landmark, offered as a gift by JP McManus to Limerick City and County Council. The billionaire businessman had a vision for an iconic tourist attraction in the southwest, offering a boost to the area and honouring Ireland's proud rugby tradition. The International Rugby Experience opened to great fanfare in May 2023, but was shuttered just 19 months later amid a bitter row between McManus and the local authority. The city's directly-elected mayor refused to take the gift. Now the red-bricked white elephant has become a metaphor for intractable local politics or a billionaire's vanity project, depending on who you ask. So what happened behind the scenes to collapse the scrum and what efforts are underway now to try and end the impasse? Limerick journalist and Irish Times contributor Brian Carroll tells the story of the ill-fated International Rugby Experience.Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.

Clare County Council has agreed to ask the Government to "investigate and instigate" actions that can be taken to end Irish complicity in the Gaza genocide. Unanimous support was given to a motion tabled by seven Fianna Fáil councillors this week calling on the Government to "prevent the funding of Israeli war bonds" and "fast track the Occupied Territories Bill into law". It comes two weeks after Clare's three Government TDs, including Fianna Fáil's Timmy Dooley and Cathal Crowe, voted against a Sinn Féin bill which would have prohibited the Central Bank from approving the prospectus for Israeli bonds at EU level. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes says it's "tough luck" for the Government if they don't agree with what the motion is proposing.
