I've made a searchable archive of all public meeting minutes + agendas from Limerick City & County Council. Official records are hard to navigate — this repository makes them searchable and accessible. github.com/FarronF/limeri…

Also it was always described as ‘closing the Crescent’ when actually it was ‘opening the Crescent’ so people could enjoy it. The spin was toxic. No fun or community in Limerick. Back in your box , get in your car and drive to the Shopping Centre.

Delighted to be the first passenger on the updated 304a @TFIupdates @Buseireann route connecting @mungretcc Educate Together and the Gaelscoil to the bus network! It’s going to be a game changer for the schools and wider community! 🙏

I completely agree with An Taisce here. If the Council is asking for funding and is nowhere near compliance with the minimum design standards the funder requires they simply won’t get the money. live95fm.ie/news/live95-ne…

Despite a warning that 3 storeys wouldn't be considered viable, they reduced it anyway. It's not viable. I hear funding is not now going to be provided. I'm sure the "we don't vote against housing, we just constructively destroy it" folks don't care, but, hey, no funding.

24 million quid scheme and they mention that there was "an extensive public consultation". Here's where it gets sticky. There wasn't a public consultation meeting as part of the statutory process (there was in the non-statutory period) Why is this important? Well...

Right. *breathes* The part 8 procedure for the Market Quarter & Cruises Street Public Realm project. There's a presentation.

The July meeting of Limerick Council (Metro District) is this morning at 9:45am. Watching it on the web 🧵 - usual largely-unwanted commentary will be added if you feel like following along. #CouncilMeetingThread

This should be a serious wake-up call for anyone committed to reducing road deaths. @cyclistie @RSAIreland @jerrybuttimer @SeanCanney @DarraghOBrienTD @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @PaulaHilman @GerHerbert1 @NeilGerardFox @PARCroadsafety @IRVAroadsafety @GardaTraffic

Fantastic news! New developments need public transport to thrive and to build habits that aren’t car-dependent. This will connect people to jobs, schools, and more. Now let’s get all of BusConnects rolled out 💪

Massive news! There’s a new bus service coming from @Buseireann and @TFIupdates for the schools in Mungret! This followed on from a motion raised by @LimerickCycling @SIPTU and @LimerickChamber in the @LimerickCouncil Transport SPC! @Limerick_Leader @limerickpost @Live95fmNews

I need it bigger and better, mind you, as it goes along year after year. But I very much want it to block off a few streets. They're our streets: not streets owned by cars.

If you want to see what goes on at full Limerick City and County Council meeting, check out this thread below. @meanderingtripe is a saint for sitting through, let alone documenting it all.

I don't have the energy today to sum up how badly-run, poorly-focused, mostly fucking pointless, dramatically self-serving, comically indulgent today's meeting has been. Put the fucking feed on full display without application. Let everyone see how stupid it is.

Council meetings must be streamed and recorded. The public deserves transparency. Bad behaviour from some cllrs needs to be seen and the serious work of those doing the job properly needs to be heard. If you’re embarrassed to show the meeting, the problem isn’t the livestream.

Hello there. The July full meeting of Limerick City & County Council is today at 3pm. Will be watching it, will be making comments, will be doing a thread, la da di la da da🧵 Follow along if you like. #CouncilMeetingThread

10 years in the making. TUS to city centre has begun. There was even another cyclist on it as I approached (even though the bit in the video is the whole thing so far).
