In response to anticipated commencement of easing of restrictive measures on 18th of May, the CEO of Limerick Chamber, Dee Ryan this evening stated
“While Government continues to work tomorrow on plans at national level to restart the economy we must prepare now for a Mid West reopening for business.
I acknowledge the work our elected representatives and Local Authority have done to date to assist in physical distancing and to ease the burden of cocooning for our loved ones. But in a thoughtful and measured way, we must now develop our plan for reopening Limerick city, putting in place safety measures for an increased number of people moving around our streets – giving priority to space for pedestrians and cyclists as has been advocated by Limerick representatives of Cyclist and Pedestrian lobby groups, to ensure observation of physical distancing, and supporting businesses to reopen with measures like parklets and other forward thinking uses of our parking bays and excess lanes.”
