Limerick ranks highly in study on sustainability

A STUDY has identified Limerick as one of the more sustainable locations in the country.

The research involved an in-depth examination of 79 Irish settlements varying from villages and towns to small cities and examined water, transport, energy, food and waste management efficiencies.

According to Professor Richard Moles, director of the University of Limerick Centre for Environmental Research and co-author of the study, the average Irish household’s impact on the environment was greater than in many EU countries.
