Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Daniel Butler said: "I am delighted to see the Active Travel team move to its permanent home at Barrow House. The team has been growing in size since it was set up back in the summer of 2021 and the move to its new home will allow it to grow even further.

"In a short period of time, the Active Travel team has delivered a number of improvements to the cycling and walking infrastructure across Limerick, including the upgraded cycle lanes and footpaths on the Dooradoyle Road and the recently opened Castletroy Urban Greenway."

Director for Transportation and Mobility at Limerick City and County Council, Brian Kennedy added: "The investment in this new office by the National Transport Authority is a clear sign of the confidence that the NTA has in its partnership with Limerick City and County Council. With more than €24m allocated by the NTA for Active Travel projects in Limerick in 2022, the team is going to be extremely busy delivering dozens of projects for our city, our towns and our villages."
