Fianna Fáil City Councillor Alan Cheevers is proposing a series of measures similar to those introduced in Limerick City recently.

These include allowing businesses to use outdoor tables, the creation of an outdoor food trail, drive-in gigs and movie events, night time markets and the use of Eyre Square as an urban playground for performances and bespoke activities.

Councillor Cheevers argues that these measures will tie-in with the City Council's Mobility plan to pedestrianise certain streets on a trial basis.

He says it's crucial to bring business back to the city.
