UL broke deal on bridge, anglers claim

THE University of Limerick has backtracked on a deal it made after it announced plans to build a pedestrian bridge on the campus, an anglers group has claimed.

After losing one battle triggered by a new bridge across the Shannon at the third level institution, anglers were shocked to learn that the university plans to proceed with a second bridge about 50 meters upstream.

Anglers said the proposed site for the pedestrian bridge is a very important heritage and wildlife preserve and is a matter of great concern.
