Compo fears halt skateboard park

MANAGEMENT at Limerick City Council have been accused of refusing to support the opening of a skateboard park in the city because of the fear of compensation claims.

Councillor John Ryan and three other members of the council are pressing ahead with a notice of motion instructing city manager Tom Mackey to apply for funding for a skate park from the Department of the Environment.

The department has set aside a special fund for skate park developments around the country.
