Mid-west business groups say Limerick boundary extension vital

THE three main business organisations in the mid-west region, Limerick Chamber, IBEC, and the American Chamber of Commerce, yesterday called for an extension of the boundary of Limerick city.

Their submission will now be sent to the Government committee set up under former Kerry Group boss, Denis Brosnan, which is preparing a report on the Limerick city boundary.

The three organisations, in a joint statement, said they agree that the primary focus of any changes to local government structure in Limerick must ensure that the status of Limerick city is reinforced to deliver future growth and development throughout the region.
