The Limerick City and county ‘Free From Three’, pre Christmas free parking from 3pm each day has bootees sales in the city in December so far.
This parking initiative has helped Limerick city businesses in attracting Christmas shoppers. The bad weather and threat of flood has had an effect on local volumes of trade. However the parking perk has helped to attract shoppers into towns in Limerick , Abbeyfeale and Newcastlewest.
The initiative was launched by Metropolitian Mayor Ian Galvin in late November and will hopefully help to increase trade in the city and county towns prior to Christmas 2015.
