The social implications of disbanding or cutting back on the regeneration project in Limerick would be serious. There is a socially disadvantaged group of people in the regions concerned, some of which are littered with crime. I previously worked supervising students at the college in Limerick. It is important to these communities that we deliver on what was promised. The Limerick regeneration project has given huge hope to people. I concur with Senator Twomey that we need to find creative ways to deliver the moneys required be it through the private or public sector or by way of incentives. If necessary, the plan should be reframed over time and not left on the books or remain undelivered.
