FOCUS Ireland has been unveiled as a nominated charity of Munster Rugby.

The nationwide charity works with people who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of losing their homes.

Over the season, Munster Rugby will work closely with Focus Ireland, actively supporting them in helping raise awareness and funds for much-needed resources that are widely availed of across the province and Ireland.

On hand to announce the association at the University of Limerick were Munster players Billy Burns, Alex Nankivell and Diarmuid Barron.

Lorraine Toner, Head of Community Fundraising from Focus Ireland, said: “This partnership helps us continue our vital work in addressing homelessness and housing insecurity, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the team’s involvement. Together, we can make a meaningful impact, and we look forward to the year ahead with this collaboration.”
