Population shift as regeneration plan altered

THE downsizing of the huge Limerick Regeneration plan for four run-down estates in the city has already led to a major population shift, locally.

Many residents have already relocated to private housing estates in counties Limerick and Clare.

Since the plan was announced in October 2007, about 200 families from Moyross, Southill, St Mary’s Park and Ballinacurra Weston have been rehoused as tenants in private estates.
