I propose to take Questions Nos. 618 to 622, inclusive, together.

The detailed advancement of housing and other works under the Limerick Regeneration programme is a matter in the first instance for Limerick City & County Council. The table attached sets out the Council's regeneration numbers for housing units that have been completed, are in progress or are planned in relation to construction, significant refurbishment/remediation or are being upgraded via the 'thermal upgrade' programme. 

The Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan (LRFIP) which was published in 2013, heralded a move away from demolitions and a prioritisation of the refurbishment option along with targeted, high quality new housing construction and a continued focus on community and economic supports. Good progress is being made in implementing the LRFIP across the three pillars of regeneration (Physical, Social, and Economic); the following table illustrates progress to date in respect of the physical improvement programme. A review of the LRFIP was published last year by the Council and it showed some encouraging progress under the three pillars and maps out the next steps in its implementation. The review can be accessed at following link: .
