Council to meet backers of Shannon reclamation project

A MASSIVE plan to reclaim land along the banks of the Shannon and turn it into prime residential sites will be discussed at a meeting between the backers of the project and senior management of Limerick City Council today.

The project would involve reclaiming more than 30 acres along a one-mile stretch of the river from Shannon Bride to Barrington’s Pier off North Circular Road.

It is believed that the plan is to develop the riverside area for luxury apartments with shopping areas and a hotel.
