Concern over moves to privatise Limerick traffic warden duties

MOVES to privatise traffic warden duties in Limerick are facing strong opposition.

The city council is at present considering the privatisation of the service which employs five full-time traffic wardens.

A city hall spokesman in Limerick said: “We have initiated a review of the department in the contexts of the Croke Park agreement and one option is to outsource traffic enforcement. Another option is we will deploy additional people from other areas of the organisation.”
