IBEC backs sale and development of Limerick docks

THE employers body IBEC yesterday came out in favour of the sell-off of Limerick docks for development as a major property area.

Shannon Foynes Port Company, which wants to sell the docks, and Limerick Port Users Group, who are opposed to the plan, will address a special meeting of Limerick City Council today.

IBEC said a docklands development would trigger another phase of economic growth and development for the city and the entire Mid-West region.
