Back in January the Bruff man captained Limerick to the Munster Hurling League title and played 13 of the games this season until his injury mid-season.
“Lovely moment this morning as staff member and Limerick hurler Paul Browne brought Liam McCarthy to LIT,” the institute said on Twitter.
“Unfortunately Paul was injured for the final, but his dedication to Limerick hurling over the years was clearly appreciated by his colleagues.”
