Group to drive €250m regeneration

A high-powered think tank made up of leading business and financial figures is being put together to drive the €250m Limerick 2030 plan drawn up to revive the city.

The plan, launched on June 14, has the potential to deliver 5,000 jobs and its main objective is the delivery of an entirely new city centre as a hub for huge commercial investment.

The Irish Examiner has learned that management at City Hall is now putting together a key strategic group to drive and progress the plan.
