Interesting to see the new retractable roof canopy Wexford has given to Monck Street, in the context of the long term plan for finding a canopy solution for Cruises Street in #LimerickCity

You'd be withered from this crowd but not surprising, they have been trying to block every possible improvement in #Limerick City for a while now. Very disappointed in the Irish Independent though, a lot of inaccuracies & unchallenged bull in the piece.
Here's a few I found (1/9)

Two of the new car parks added to the city centre in recent years. It will never be enough for some.

Is there any street in Limerick city centre WITHOUT on-street parking?

Here's a beautiful story of an Irish postman called Mike Sheehan, who cycled up to 30 miles a day for 42 years delivering post around Goleen in West Cork. While other postmen opted for cars and motorbikes because of the steep mountainous terrain, Mike never changed. His son

As well as making it safer outside the School for the Deaf it also has made it easier for people living in the area to cycle to Baggot Estate!

Eric Nelligan The last Census showed 1,807 people commuting by bike as their main mode of transport in the city.
Shannon Bridge lane has 400 trip per day (12,000 a month). And the recent Sustrans study surveyed over 1,000 people. 76% support more cycle lanes even when car space is reduced.
