The future of JP McManus's International Rugby Experience museum is in jeopardy, as Limerick City and County Council has been informed that it would need to pay up to €2 million over three years to keep the attraction operational. There are additional financial implications as well, such as a six-figure stamp-duty bill and a seven-figure VAT bill should the council decide to take ownership or change the use of the building.
The museum, which is set to close on December 23, has reached an impasse regarding its financial sustainability. High operational costs combined with potential tax liabilities make the decision for the council increasingly complex and financially burdensome, prompting discussions on the future viability of the attraction that aims to celebrate rugby culture and history.
