Limerick's post-All-Ireland final Monday has been a busy one. There was a queue of media at their hotel looking for a word with the first Limerick team to claim Liam MacCarthy since 1973.
Prior to departing Dublin - as is tradition - the team visited Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin and Temple St. Children's Hospital.
The homecoming will be this evening at 7pm in the Gaelic Grounds.
