The success of the hurling team has helped to transform the city and the county, and Moran emotively explained the positive impact they hurlers have had on everyone in Limerick.
"Both my parents are Tipperary people, the first person who was a friend of theirs' was the legendary Mick Hickey, who's a publican in Castleconnell and was part of the team in '36 and '40. We were reared in our kits, performing outside, and he telling you that you're the next Paddy Scanlan, or Power or Mackey. They are our people.
"And they are re-awakened now. It's not so long ago, forget about the noughties when we were fighting internally hurling-wise. It wasn't so long ago when we had to get prominent Limerick people to have a campaign saying 'I am from Limerick,' because we were known as stab-city.
"We were the butt of everything, there could be one hundred assaults in Dublin of a day but the one in Limerick is blown up. So we had to try and market ourselves, and in all the things that JP McManus has done, he has made everyone so proud to be from Limerick - he just radiates the simplicity of who we are, more so even than who we are, but who we want to be.
"And Dolores O'Riordan, she was Limerick city. That sense of people, you were just very proud to say then, yesterday, that you were from Limerick."
It's certainly a good time to be able to say that.
