Initiatives that promote a liveable city centre are essential for the future development of Limerick according to a new economic report.

The Future Development of Limerick City report by Indecon was carried out to benchmark Limerick against other Irish cities. Recommendations include the acceleration of important projects in the Limerick 2030 Economic and Spatial Plan and the implementation of a citizens dashboard on key projects to give the public transparency on their progress.
