    A snippet;

    It is believed that in addition to Limerick FC, a new rugby league club, Limerick Flame, which plans to enter a team in the British based Championship in 2010 is anxious to play out of a revamped stadiumwhile the Munster Branch of the IRFU and local GAA authorities have apparently expressed enthusiasm for the idea of a 5,000 to 7,000 seat venue so close to the centre of the city.

    I would prefer a team to be located in Dublin, purely for my own self-interest, but any team competing from Ireland would have my full support. Hopefully they can get merchandise sorted better than RLI did for the World Cup :pac:
