Astro pitch kick starts Limerick’s regeneration plan

WHILE housing development in the Limerick regeneration plan has yet to take off, another sports facility was yesterday officially opened as part of the social and recreational part of the proposed transformation programme.

Young people in Moyross got the first feel of a synthetic pitch costing €70,000 which has been laid in the estate.

Michael O’Kelly, of the Limerick Regeneration Agency, said: “This is a kick start and is giving people confidence that regeneration is happening in the area.
