O’Dea criticised over Limerick regeneration fund

DEFENCE Minister Willie O’Dea came under renewed attack yesterday after admitting the Government did not have the necessary money to fund Limerick’s regeneration plan.

Huge plans were unveiled in October 2008 to transform large residential areas such as Southill, Moyross, St Mary’s Park and Ballinacurra Weston.

The Government pledged to contribute €1.7 billion to the scheme.
