THE free park-and-ride shuttle bus service between the Southcourt Hotel, Raheen, and the Limerick Covid-19 Vaccination Centre at Scoil Carmel is being discontinued at close of business on Wednesday (February 2).
Since the vaccination centre opened at Scoil Carmel on December 1, the Southcourt Hotel and transport provider Jim McMahon have delivered the park-and-ride service every day from 8am and 7.30pm, with car parking, and a bus running every half-hour between the Raheen hotel and the vaccination centre.
In recent weeks, there has been a steady, significant decline in numbers using the park-and-ride. As they prepare to stand down the service this week, UL Hospitals Group has thanked Jim McMahon and the Southcourt Hotel for their help in delivering a service that has benefited many hundreds of people during a critical phase of the vaccination programme.
