The advancement of housing and other works under the Limerick Regeneration Programme is a matter in the first instance for Limerick City and County Council.  

The Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan provides a roadmap for the regeneration of Limerick and includes plans for a community centre in St Mary's Park.  There are no proposals currently with my Department in respect of this project and any such proposals advanced by the Council will be considered, in line with standard practice.
