Limerick has installed its first Pride Rainbow street crossing as part of its measures to improve active travel and inclusivity in the city.

The Pride Rainbow - the first in the city - has been installed beside a pedestrian crossing on Bridge Street, and close to Limerick city and county council offices at Merchant's Quay.

The council said it is designed to express with pride how Limerick is an inclusive place to live, work and call home.

It has been installed by the city’s Active Travel team as part of its wider plans to upgrade and improve the pedestrian and cycling network in Limerick.

Mayor of the city Cllr Daniel Butler said: "One of Limerick’s strengths is its diversity. The LGBTQ+ community is a huge part of who we are in Limerick and I am delighted to see the Pride Rainbow colours appear in such a prominent way.

"Thousands of people pass along this route every day and this is a very visual way for us to say that Limerick is inclusive and welcoming to all," he said.
