Lifeline for city’s disadvantaged youths

A LIMERICK man who created a hugely successful multimillion-euro business while unemployed is planning to open up opportunities for young people living in disadvantaged parts of the city.

Ray O’Halloran, who employs 32 people in his steel fabrication business, has been given planning permission by Limerick City Council for a massive youth training facility near Moyross.

He has commenced talks with the Northside Regeneration Agency which is overseeing the total redevelopment of Moyross and St Mary’s Park.
