Improved road connectivity across Limerick and Improve access to and from the Shannon Airport. Improve access to areas of employment and educational opportunity Improve development of pedestrian and cycle facilities, to reduce travel time for this sector . WHY? - LimerickLimerick NorthernNorthern Distributor Distributor Road ––PhasePhase Road 2 (LNDR) •The LNDR will cross the northern part of the city and link the Mackey Roundabout on the M7 to Coonagh on the Ennis Road. •A number of junctions along the road to serve the City, Coonagh, Cratloe, Parteen, Corbally, the University of Limerick and the National Technological Park, Annacotty etc. Direct link road from UL to LIT •Corbally, Monaleen, Castletroy & Annacotty areas are experiencing rapid growth -This is expected to continue up to at least 2030 Population of Limerick and the Mid-West predicted to grow substantially over the next 20 years. •These areas are experiencing traffic congestion at peak times - It can take up to 40 minutes to exit UL at peak times - It can take up to 20 mins to get out of NTP onto R445 •Limited capacity for these areas to grow without new infrastructure •We must solve the problems that exist today and plan for growth. Limerick Northern Distributor Road ––PhasePhase 2 Limerick Northern Distributor Road The LNDR scheme is currently being progressed as two Knockalisheen Road independent schemes: Phase 2 Phase 1 APPROVED - Phase 1 Coonagh Roundabout on Ennis Road to the Coonagh Knockalisheen Road Roundabout Dublin Road PROPOSED - Phase 2 Knockalisheen Road in north West Limerick to the R445 Dublin Road in East Limerick Coonagh to Knockalisheen Distributor Road Proposed Layout Railway Line Castlepark Estate Knockalisheen Road Cratloe Road Moyross Watch House Cross Coonagh Roundabout Coonagh to Knockalisheen Distributor Road View looking south along the View looking northwest towards existing Ballynanty Bridge Knockalisheen Road ((KnockalisheenKnockalisheen Marsh on the left and Delmege Estate on the right of the shot) Limerick Northern Distributor Road - Phase 2 Strategic Issues ••Good future planning ••CoonaghCoonagh--KnockalisheenKnockalisheen Scheme ••NSS/MWRPG’s/ MWASP ••Impact on UL/NTP ••Docking point in County Limerick ••Impact on Communities including Mountshannon Road, AnnacottyAnnacotty,, Corbally & Parteen ••Environment ••Flooding ••Shannon Crossing ••Ardnacrusha Headrace/Tailrace Route Options Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for LNDR Corridor • Study assessed the flood risk and potential flood impact of the LNDR proposed road on stream and river channels and on floodplains • SFRA Performed to a high standard that was reviewed and favourably received on by OPW (who are the National Flood Agency) • Flood risk Management Plan Justification test applied and passed in respect to the proposed LNDR Road Corridor • Many sources of relevant hydrological data supported this study – JBA strategic Flood mapping, ESBI River Shannon model studies, Draft CFRAMS Study and mapping, Topographic data, flood modelling specifically carried out for this study, historical flood information, site walkovers , ESB and OPW hydrological data. River Shannon Crossing • Included topographical survey information, lidar data etc. • Included river channel and floodplain cross-sectional information for River Shannon and Mulkear • Developed hydraulic models of the river channels and floodplains being crossed so as to assess feasibility of road crossing and the degree of spanning required. • Applied a TELEMAC2D High resolution Two-dimensional model of the River Crossing to include the interaction of the River Mulkear and River Shannon under regular and extreme flood events and to prepare flood inundation maps of flood vulnerable lands. • Carried out full hydrological analysis of return period flood flows in the Shannon and Mulkear using reliable gauged data. This provided estimates of return period flow magnitudes under various scenarios (ESB Ardnacrusha diversion (on and off), climate change (present day and medium range) Response from OPW •“The OPW welcomes the detailed Flood Risk Assessment for proposed Variation commissioned by Roughan O’Donovan Ltd. •The OPW agree with the conclusions set out in Section 7.3 that the proposal to progress the Limerick Northern Distributor Road project passes the justification test set out in the Flood Risk Management Planning Guidelines (Nov 2009), " given the clear strategic nature of the proposed road transport development, the sequential approach involved in the route corridor selection process and the findings from the flood risk assessment that flood risk to the proposed road development can be adequately managed and mitigated for and that the construction and operation of the road can be engineered not to cause unacceptable adverse flood impacts elsewhere. “ 2017 Proposed Northern Distribution Road Variation Map The Variation Map •The map shows the proposed 100 metre wide corridor in purple that the Council proposes to limit development within until such time as the final road layout is designed and approved. •A dual carriageway type road with footpaths, cycle paths and landscaping would typically be 30 to 40 metres wide between its boundaries and the proposed northern distributor road will fit within the 100 metre wide corridor. •A wider protected area is shown hatched in the vicinity of the Mackey roundabout and this is to facilitate improved junction connections linking the proposed Northern Distributor Road to the existing road network including the R445 Old Dublin Road, the Mackey roundabout (M7) and the R506 Cappamore road. The Planning Process •The first step to deliver this new road is to make planning provision for the road. This planning provision requires a change to the Development Plan. • This planning provision is achieved by the elected Members of Limerick City and County Council amending the Development Plan for Limerick by including the likely route corridor. •The elected members of Clare County Council amended the Clare Development Plan 2 years ago for that part of the road in County Clare •The proposal to amend the Limerick City and County Development Plan will be considered for approval by the elected members of Limerick Council in May 2017. •The agreement of the elected members to amending the Development plan is an absolute requirement if the scheme is to proceed. • Documents relating to the proposal will be published on 25 th February, 2017 and will be available on the Council’s web site www.limerick.ie •The plan can also be viewed at the Council Offices •It is important that people try to inform yourself on these proposals. The Council will welcome any enquiries on the following help lines 061-407294 and 061-407548. •The Council will be delighted to meet individual or groups to assist in explaining the process and the project.

In today’s environment of mobile, financial and human capital, the focus of economic competition is increasingly on city regions. This trend is particularly significant for an open economy such as Ireland which is competing in a global market for investment and talent. In 2014 Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council amalgamated into one body - Limerick City & County Council. As outlined in the Limerick 2030 Vision: An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick report, the objective of this merger was to extend the city boundary to include urbanised parts of the county and was seen as a ‘once in a generation opportunity’ to drive new levels of employment and economic growth. In May 2017 Limerick City & County Council (LC&CC) appointed EY-DKM Economic Advisory Services (formerly DKM Economic Consultants) with MCJ Lemagnen Associates Ltd. (MCJ Lemagnen) to undertake an Economic Profile report of Limerick city (including suburbs as defined by the CSO) and county.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO.W.S. 1,371 Witness John McCormack, Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick. Identity. Commandant Second Battalion, East Clare Brigade. Subject Irish Volunteer activities, Clonlara, East Clare, 1915-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2686 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JOHN McCORMACK Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick formerly Commandant, 2nd Battalion and Captain of Clonlara (A) Company, 2nd Battalion, East Clare Brigade. I was born on 23rd September 1898, at Cappavilla House, Clonlara, Co. Clare, where my father was an extensive farmer. I believe it was while I was attending the Christian Brothers Schools in Limerick city that I joined the Fianna Boy Scouts. About the commencement of 1917, I became a member of the Irish Volunteers when a company was established his in Clonlara by Michael Brennan immediately after release from jail in England. I was the first captain of that company. Though I served right through the Anglo-Irish struggle up to the Truce in July 1921, as a company and battalion officer and as a member of the East Clare flying column, and participated in all the major engagements of that brigade, I do not feel fit enough to attempt an account of my experiences in the fight for independence. There was one encounter, however, in which I happened to be in charge of the I.R.A. forces about which my memory is quite clear and I am prepared to record all that I know about it.
