Bus lanes to go ahead despite local resistance

LIMERICK City Council has reiterated its determination to open up more bus lanes into the city centre, despite strong resistance from resident groups.

The council insists the city centre needs bus lane access and is pressing ahead with plans to open up a lane from the new bridge at the Crescent shopping centre into the city.

Limerick County Council, meanwhile, have already opened up bus lanes on the county side of the bridge.
