Belfast's Pedestrian Plans in Flux | Ireland News

from Ireland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Belfast’s streets are heating up after the Fleadh Cheoil’s massive pedestrian success, sparking a fiery debate over the city’s future walkability. Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins unveils plans to expand pedestrian zones — but councillor Séamas de Faoite is furious, claiming key festival streets like Donegall Place and Royal Avenue were left out of her confidential proposals. He accuses her of political theater and delays, while she counters that accessibility must be prioritized — and that his leak of confidential documents was politically motivated. The public consultation looms, but tensions are high as Belfast waits to see which roads will walk — and which won’t.
