Port board agrees to further talks on docks sale

AFTER a “frank” exchange of views on the proposed sale of Limerick docks, an emergency meeting of Shannon Foynes Port Company (SFPC) has agreed to hold more inclusive talks with port users and Limerick City Council.

The elected members of Limerick City Council are opposed to the sale of the docks and the Mayor of Limerick, Cllr Joe Leddin, accused SFPC of rushing the sale.

The docks covers 44 acres near Limerick city centre.
