Limerick loves its buses as study after study from @LimerickCouncil and @TFIupdates has shown. The appetite for improvements in service is incredibly strong. We’ll happily take the full #BusConnectsLimerick programme asap!.

Special thanks to @ConorSheehan93 who has championed this at national level and @mariadonoghue24 who has been doggedly pushing for this much needed service. 🙏.

The new timetable for the 304a starts on July 27th! . It gives it a nice run in to bed the service down in advance of the schools returning at the end of next month. It’s also the first green shoots of expanded services coming in #BusConnectsLimerick in the coming years.

This improved bus timetable for the 304a will service the new schools such as @mungretcc the Gaelscoil and Educate Together. This is a major improvement for the communities living in the area and a much improved transport link for the kids going to school here.

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

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.
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.

Congrats to @catherinegalway on announcing her intention to run for president!. She’s a seasoned cyclist and has been a great supporter of the Galway Cycling crew over the years, including the need for the Salthill Route. Great to see our first cycling candidate of the race!

Thanks to the team at NTA HQ for the briefing yesterday. Limerick has seen a 100% increase in TFI Bikes usage this year – the highest of any city!. Delighted to see @LimerickCycling feedback being taken on board, with the scheme now set to expand into the suburbs by next summer.

Always enjoy the tweets sent on #yourcouncilday . We have so many outstanding people putting in the hard graft every day in Limerick Council to improve things for everyone living here.
WATCH: Director General of Limerick City and County Council, Pat Daly, introduces everything the council does for Limerick, from the day-to-day as well as ongoing projects to organising vibrant festivals that bring everyone together!. #YourCouncilDay #LimerickEdgeEmbrace

Cllrs fawning over a tax exile trying to offload a failed business that would haemorrhage money and drain funding from essential services to prop up an egocentric white elephant is really something else. Echoes of Trump and Russian oligarchs here.

We should 100% have a tourist levy in Limerick as well. It’s a tiny charge and would help fund services for everyone. It’s honestly a no-brainer.
Featured in today’s Sunday Times story by @Jennifer_Bray. I’ve called for a visitor levy, a directly elected Dublin mayor, and reform of the CPO system so councils can finally act on long-term dereliction.
