Funding boost to kick-start Limerick regeneration

THE Government has approved funding for the Limerick regeneration programme which will kick-start construction work on new homes and other projects in four run down parts of the city.

Due to the economic crisis, the original plan launched in 2008 with a total price tag of €3 billion had to be drastically altered.

The original master plan envisaged public investment of €1.4bn and private sector investment of €1.6bn.
