Revised boundary expands Limerick city by 50%

ALMOST 7,000 people will become city residents in Limerick as a result of a significant redesignation of the county council boundary.

It follows an agreement between both local authorities to transfer a huge area of the county suburbs to the city as part of the massive regeneration programme planned for Moyross.

With the transfer of 2,000 acres, the city will expand by 50%.
