Expressing his delight, Crescent Shopping Centre manager Brian O’Leary said, “to Crescent Shopping Centre is delighted to be the Official Sponsor of the Volunteer Program for the Regeneron Great Limerick Run. The vibrancy and atmosphere in Limerick city on race day was fantastic, and the volunteers from the various clubs and organisations were delighted to be a part of the occasion. Over €20,000 will be presented to Clubs from across the region – we are delighted to be
