Limerick’s Pedestrian Push Under Fire | Ireland News

A senior Limerick council official, Kieran Lehane, is retiring after 50 years and is challenging the push for more pedestrian-only zones, arguing that copying big cities like London or Paris won’t work for Limerick. He points to mixed results in areas like Cruises Street and Bedford Row, and says traders’ real concerns are about attracting customers—not just removing cars.
