theres a bus stop across the road (just after hassetts cross) the caherdavin bus will drop you off

I'm sorry my knowledge of buses, their schedules and Limerick city itself is woeful. I'm getting the bus from Adare so just ask for Hassett's cross?

The bus from Adare would probably drop you to the bus station in Limerick. From there I think you'd probably have to walk to the new dunnes on Henry St and one of the buses down there would drop you off outside TP.

Some will have seen them new yellow boxes on the Newport road roundabout.

On Saturday there was a guy from the traffic management company fiddling with the Annacotty junction lights and today, conspiracy theorists unite, those yellow boxes have cameras on them.

Temporary cameras so I don't know if they're there to check for peoples ability not to block them.

As a daily user I can tell you people aren't respecting the yellow boxes.

Someone obviously putting pressure on cllr's to improve the traffic situation. Could have all been solved if they had put a roundabout there in the first place!

The respect the people of Limerick and Munster have shown tonight cannot be topped. Incredible and emotional scenes.

Read the news. Anthony Foleys funeral is on Friday. Reposing tomorrow.

Today he was welcomed home off Ryanair flight FR 8 for one last time by the people who respected and loved him. He was given one last trip to Thomond and St Munchins. He was greeted to a heroes homecoming and was bade farewell as the legend he was by hundreds if not thousands of friends and fans within minutes. Limerick city came to a stand still.

Plenty of fans around the globe would have given up their first born to be in Limerick this week but they can't so they feel some bit involved with these photos and videos that are available to them. I was lucky enough to salute the cortege further out the road but would have killed to be outside Thomond with everyone else. What I did see was on some randomers live FB feed and RTEs coverage. It was painful to watch but still wonderful and made me an even prouder Munster man. Huge respect to Shannon RFC also from a cookie.


I don't think you understand the significance of this event bigpink.

There are lots of people grieving, some can't be in Limerick and appreciate seeing the tributes paid to Axel outside Thomond Park and IIP.

There is no one missing Axel more than his family but I'm sure sometime in the future they'll get some consolation from seeing those images and clips.

It's a huge news and public interest story, the next few days it will still be covered. I'm sensing no love lost for him or the story?? That's fine too, but he meant a lot to a hell of a lot of people both locally, nationally and internationally and he was one of our own.

A friend who owns an IT support company heard it. He wasn't 100% sure how true it was though.

Over on the broadband forum - someone said it too.
