Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Jim Meade:

That is something I am sure we can do so. We will take that away and have a look at it. Regarding the old freight crane, we are talking with the Land Development Agency, LDA, about developing the site further, which is one of the things that they have to discuss as well. The structure of the crane is very safe. There were even talks of making it a viewing platform, giving a vista over Limerick. Some years ago there was consideration of whether it could be used elsewhere. The cost of taking it down and rebuilding it somewhere else is as much as a new crane, so the companies that looked did not want to use it for that purpose.

We recognise the issues with the car park. The Deputy has probably seen that where the old bus station was is now being redeveloped. The car park is going to come all the way down to the old front gate, so that capacity will be added to the car park.
