Limerick City site set for €100m revamp

The biggest 10-year real estate project in a city centre, outside of Dublin, was given the go-ahead in Limerick yesterday.

The so-called Opera Centre site, which covers 50,000 sq m along Patrick St, will undergo a €100m redevelopment. The public-private partnership facility will be a mix of retail, residential, and educational facilities.

Up to 3,000 jobs will be created in new centre and a further 300 in the construction phase, which will commence within 18 months
