Market fury as street traders get permission

THE businessman who spearheaded the €2.5 million re-development of Limerick’s famed Milk Market has accused the city council of undermining the retail project – by allowing nearby street traders to compete at lower charges.

As part of the re-development, a huge canopy measuring about a half acre was placed over the market square on a 79ft high mast.

New retailing areas were also incorporated along with a balcony coffee shop.
