My Department currently supports an ambitious programme of regeneration at six locations across the country, including Limerick City. A particular focus of the 2013 programme in Limerick is to deliver, as a priority, a solid and workable implementation strategy which will act as a roadmap for physical, social and economic re generation in the coming years. Construction contracts, recently completed or due to commence in 2013, will deliver over 170 new housing units within the regeneration areas.

To date some 1,000 households from within the regeneration areas have been relocated on foot of a robust housing acquisition programme over recent years. An overview of the new housing projects which are under construction or will get to construction in 2013, together with those being progressed to construction stage, is set out in the following table:

Projects - completed or due to start in 2013 No. of Units Status Cost estimate
