In 2008 my Department allocated almost €7 million to support the operation of the Limerick Regeneration Agencies, mainly for the development of the regeneration master plans and for social inclusion measures.

Within the overall funding available to my Department for the provision and improvement of social housing for 2009, funds will be provided to advance the planning of the Limerick Regeneration Scheme, to meet the costs of the Regeneration Agencies, to facilitate a number of households wishing to move in line with the overall regeneration strategy, and for related matters. The full allocation of funding for regeneration schemes nationally, including for Limerick, will be finalised early next year.
