I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 to 155, inclusive, together.

The Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan (LRFIP) provides the roadmap for the regeneration of four large and significant residential areas within Limerick City over the coming years, integrating measures relating to the physical, social and economic environment. Good progress has been made to date on implementation of the plan and the following table sets out the annual funding drawn down by Limerick City and County Council for the regeneration programme from 2014 to 2019:

Year Payments
2014 € 26,723,422
2015 € 21,055,103
2016 € 21,930,113
2017 € 42,882,237
2018 € 40,823,370
2019 € 21,681,305

Projects funded by my Department under the programme across the four Regeneration areas, in 2019 and to date in 2020, include construction projects, thermal upgrades and refurbishments, social and economic initiatives, acquisitions, environmental works and CCTV, at a total cost of over €21.6 million in 2019 and with over €12.9 million drawn down to date in 2020. Limerick City and County Council will continue to submit claims on an ongoing basis to my Department for the remainder of the year.
