Mayor attacks ‘reckless’ sale of dockland

AS the battle for the future of Limerick docks intensifies, the Mayor of Limerick, Cllr Joe Leddin, yesterday called on the board of Shannon Foynes Port Company to suspend their plans to sell off part or all of Limerick docks.

The port company have launched a major media campaign setting out plans which the company says will transform the docks area into a massive commercial centre with the potential to create 1,000 jobs yielding €50 million a year into the local economy.

The docks cover 44 acres.
