'Not feasible': Limerick mayor decides not to close off city centre street this August

John Moran said he decided it 'was not feasible' to close the Crescent area for the city's August Animations

Limerick mayor John Moran had planned to close off several streets in Limerick city centre to facilitate August Animations.

The mayor of Limerick has decided not to close off one of Limerick’s main streets this August, as it “became clear” the initiative was not feasible this year.

John Moran had announced plans for this year’s August Animations, which involved the Crescent on O’Connell Street and Honan’s Quay to be restricted to traffic during the entire month of August.
