## Resource

Limerick’s Summer in the City is sparking mixed reactions — while the urban beach and lively events are praised as vibrant and fun, local shop owners are bristling at street closures that disrupt foot traffic, especially ahead of the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships. With three pedestrian zones already struggling and commercial vacancies at a regional high, traders argue the festivities should be relocated to underperforming areas to actually boost their businesses. The chamber acknowledges the housing and retail challenges, hoping more residents downtown will naturally drive commerce — but the real question remains: will these summer visitors spend their money?
