Why? There’s still nothing concrete about this proposal, I’d like to see a proper pro and con list to keeping the docks in Limerick, as opposed to building superport in Foynes, it’s not good enough to say I want high buildings, or I want to keep a 1,000 year port open, whats the benefits to either plan?

Justnotbothered, have you or anybody else seen any details from the Docklands Study “The Docklands Initiative”? It seems like the press release from the Shannon Foynes Port Company on Thursday the 24 August, could be in fact only a submission to the Limerick City Council towards the Docklands Local Area Plan (2007 – 2013). The deadline was one day later. See below.
