Attacks on Limerick buses costing €3,000 a week

LIMERICK has overtaken Cork as the worst black-spot outside Dublin for attacks on city buses.

Bus Éireann runs the city services in Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford and damage to buses in its Limerick fleet now accounts for half the annual vandalism bill of e1 million for the four provincial cities.

Dublin Bus runs the city services in the capital.
