A man who has given so much.
Paul O’Connell had his very own tribute flag unveiled in his honour above Brown Thomas on O’Connell St, Limerick last night, courtesy of Limerick City and County council.
The tribute is Limerick’s way of saying thank you to the man who has led the Munster team through the good times and the bad times in an amazing career.

I can’t even remember a time when Paulie wasn’t playing for Munster. I have no words for how much I admire him. #AlwaysALegend #ThanksPaulie
