The thirty two year old has also won the short course, 4km, world cross country title in Belfast in 1999 and a world track silver medal the same year. Limo will be a major attraction in Cork on June 30. Tickets are available from: Tony O’Connell, Public Relations Officer, Cork City Sports, 85 North Main Street, Cork.
