Skateboarders threaten council with ombudsman

AN ACTION group yesterday threatened to report a local authority to the Ombudsman for Children for not providing an amenity for skateboarders.

The Limerick Skatepark Action Group (LSAG) claimed the city council had already benefited from €125,000 in Government funding for a skateboard park.

The LSAG said it will press ahead with the threat if the council continues to disregard the rights of young Limerick skateboarders.
