On tuesday 28th March, party leaders on Limerick City Council considered a motion put forward by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign to declare Limerick City the worlds first Caterpillar Free Zone. The motion calls on the City Council to ban the use of all Caterpillar plant and machinery on Council worksites from January 1st 2006, and calls on all traders in Limerick City to implement a voluntary ban on the sale of Caterpillar merchandise.

On April 13th Caterpillar shareholders meet in Chicago and will discuss a resolution on the sale of bulldozers to Israel. The potential domino effect of a City declaring itself a Caterpillar Free Zone will not go unnoticed by the shareholders.
