Gormley to sanction city boundary extension as part of regeneration plan

ENVIRONMENT Minister John Gormley will today sign an order in Limerick which will extend the city boundary on the north side of the city, bringing more than 7,000 suburban residents in the urban area.

The boundary extension was one of the proposals contained in the report prepared for the Government by former Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald to draw up a plan for the regeneration of Moyross and Southill.

From tomorrow, all of Southill will be within the city boundary.
