Housing, infrastructure and regional development among key areas highlighted by Limerick Chamber ahead of General Election

The business group is calling for an urgent delivery of affordable and social housing, and a reduced reliance on the private market

The group is also calling for increased business supports, noting the rising costs for firms which have continued since Brexit.

Housing, infrastructure and regional development are some of the key issues facing the mid-west region, with calls for the next government to address significant capital and social infrastructural gaps in the area.

Releasing its General Election Manifesto on Wednesday, Limerick Chamber highlighted five key areas which are critical to a bright future for the region: Business vitality enablers, energy independence, balanced regional development, infrastructure and housing.
