The pandemic has had a devastating impact on our cities, with new data provided by Dublin, Galway, Cork and Limerick city councils showing a big decline in footfall.

At the height of the lockdown Limerick experienced a 90% drop in pedestrian numbers, while the figures stood at 88% for Galway, 83% for Dublin and 76% for Cork.
