Limerick businesses located on streets considered for pedestrianisation could be compensated under plans discussed at a council meeting this Monday.

Members of Limerick City and County Council (LCCC) heard a proposal from Green Party councillor Saša Novak Uí Chonchúir, who called for a feasibility study to look at developing a programme of rates reduction and/or other financial compensation for traders who would be affected by the move.
