President hails Limerick regeneration plan

The regeneration of two of Limerick's most notorious neighbourhoods will transform the lives of residents and allow them to take charge of their future, President Mary McAleese said today.

She was unveiling vision plans for the redevelopment of the troubled Moyross and Southill areas of the city, which will see the demolition of around 2,000 houses and the construction of new amenities and garda stations.
