HURLING champions Limerick took time out of their schedule this Monday to drop by the wards at Temple Street Children's University Hospital in Dublin.
The conquering All-Ireland heroes shared their celebrations with the children and staff at the hospital before boarding a train to Limerick for the homecoming.
Manager John Kiely, captain Declan Hannon and goalkeeper Nickie Quaid were among those who visited Temple Street, where they met staff, patients and their families, bringing the Liam MacCarthy with them for the visit.
Earlier, the team visited Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.
