Up to 500 residential units could be developed on the banks of the River Shannon as part of a €500m plan to transform the former Cleeves Toffee factory into Limerick city's riverside quarter.

The master plan for the historic 10-acre site was unveiled this week by Limerick Twenty Thirty (LTT) and includes proposals for a major new residential, educational, commercial, and public realm.
