JP McManus receives Trinity honour
Limerick multi-millionaire JP McManus has received an honorary patronage of the Philosophical society at Trinity College Dublin
McManus was being honoured for being one of Ireland’s most successful entrepreneurs, but was reluctant to speak of his charitable work even though it was mentioned in his citation.
“Mr McManus was quite shy when he starting speaking, but he was very affable when the students asked him for some racing tips,” said Daire Hickey, society president
