Where is the money coming from?

Just looking at the real figures here not the attendances they call out at Pro14 fixtures. I recall sitting in Thomond on a freezing cold winters day against the Dragons. I'd say if there was 3k people in the ground it was as much as there was. They announced the official attendance as 12k. That would have meant someone in…

The max capacity of the INEC is 3000 and often it's a good bit less depending on how they arrange sitting/standing. Killarney basically exists to serve tourists these days, the town is always full of people who are there anyway. There's no comparison with Thomond. It also conveniently has a roof on it, as you don't find many outdoor concerts in Ireland outside of the summer months.

Ed Sheeran certainly would have been a good opportunity to hold a concert there you'd have thought though. For just one off events, I'm sorry but I can't see why they'd be in Limerick.
