Green light for renewal plans

MASTERPLANS for the regeneration of four run down council estates in Limerick were yesterday endorsed at a private meeting.

And it emerged that some of the plans were stolen last Friday when a car was broken into and a briefcase taken. The briefcase belonged to regeneration agency employee. However, it is believed the thief was unlikely to have known the significance of the contents of the briefcase.

A number of leading firms of architects engaged to draw up the masterplans made their presentations to the two regeneration boards yesterday and were endorsed after a day long meeting.
