Authorities are being urged to put a plan in place to deal with increased levels of traffic in and around Limerick City as we approach Christmas.
There's been a noticeable increase in traffic in recent weeks, with the current bad weather and road works partly to blame.
The Childers Road, Dublin Road, routes around the Crescent Shopping Centre and the Parkway Roundabout have been particularly busy.
Up to 85 extra Gardaí will be deployed in Dublin to help keep traffic moving over the festive season and Limerick Labour TD Jan O'Sullivan thinks a similiar strategy could work here.
