Progress on Limerick's Opera Site following Covid delays

The 3.7 acre “mixed-use” development remains on course to be delivered over a six-year period

The city centre site was acquired by Limerick City and County Council in 2011 foe the €200m Opera development.

Construction of a €200m “Opera” development, which it is hoped will kickstart Limerick city’s economic recovery, is rolling on despite suffering a five-month delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The city centre site was acquired by Limerick City and County Council in 2011 after a previous plan to develop it failed during the mid-2000 economic crash and was subsequently handed over to “Limerick Twenty Thirty DAC” — a development company set up and owned by the Council.
