City to create 5,000 jobs in river project

A €1bn riverside development in Limerick is expected to generate 5,000 jobs over the next 10 years.

The Riverside City project will see a new cityscape built from the docklands, along the city quayside to King's Island and extending to the University of Limerick via the Park canal.

The major partnership project devised by Shannon Development was officially launched in Limerick yesterday by the President of the European Parliament, Pat Cox.
