My Department currently supports an ambitious programme of regeneration in Limerick which seeks to address keys aspects of disadvantage in communities through holistic programmes of physical, social and economic regeneration. Good progress has been made through the programme and the Government remains committed to the ‘Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan’. The wider impact of regeneration activity across the hinterland of Limerick City is recognised and in that regard, I understand that Limerick City and County Council has been examining the relationship between the hinterland and the City. Once this examination is complete I will consider any implications it may have for the regeneration programme .
