Steeples development climbs to dizzy heights

AS the roof goes on a 59-apartment development in the heart of Limerick city, the reason for its name comes to light.

The Steeples is the name assigned to the E15 million Section 23 development on the site of the old Kilroy’s furniture store, at Cathedral Place, an historic quarter of Limerick currently undergoing significant upgrading and investment.

The view from the top of the five-storey development, being built in two blocks, takes in the steeples and spires of six city churches.
