Councillor calls for basketball court to be provided in Limerick City

Social Democrats councillor Elisa O'Donovan.

THE council was asked if it has any plans to provide a basketball court in Limerick by Social Democrats councillor Elisa O’Donovan.

Making light work of the council executive with her questioning, Cllr O’Donovan wasn’t taking no for an answer and suggested the local authority consider a basketball court in the city.

In response, the council explained that the provision of additional sports amenities to meet the needs of a growing population within the city and county is under active consideration.

“In terms of Limerick City West, the council will engage with elected members in terms of additional sporting infrastructure as part of public infrastructure, e.g. Mungret Park, subject to demand, suitability, and sufficient resources being in place,” she was told.
