Community group resigns from Limerick project

One of the largest communities involved in the Limerick regeneration project — which has had €100m spent on it to date — has pulled out of the process.

The St Mary’s Park Community Group has resigned en masse in a row with Limerick City Council over the direction of the project. The nine-person steering group said it has no confidence in the current process, as their concerns are being ignored by council officials.

The group, which represents hundreds of householders, believe the project has gone backwards since the local authority took over running the scheme more than a year ago.
