Limerick Chamber is opposing proposed road closure measures at The Crescent to facilitate a Christmas market in the city, citing "deep concern regarding the duration, timing, and location" of the concept.

The move comes after hundreds objected to plans proposed by mayor John Moran to divert traffic from The Crescent for six weeks, with most not wanting the market located at the top of O’Connell Street.
