The Physical Programme is at this stage indicative only and very much a ‘work in progress’. The details of the various projects proposed will need to be flexible and in a position to respond to the changes that occur within the fluid environment which they operate. From a land-use and planning perspective, matters are changing on a regular basis, for example the Regional Planning Guidelines are due for review shortly as are some of the relevant local authority Delmege Estate Development Plans. In addition the changing economic and social circumstances of the country may have some implications for population growth and development options which may in turn impact on the approaches taken with regard to Regional Development. Therefore as we move forward this Regeneration Programme must continue to complement the strategies and different elements of the various National, Regional and local levels as outlined in table 1 (page 19). 5.1.1.1 Introduction Moyross Chapter 3 set out the Social Regeneration element of this programme and Chapter 4 has dealt with the economic proposals to underpin these. This Physical Programme deals with the buildings, spaces and environment in which these programmes will be grounded and on which they depend to achieve the transformation of Moyross. River This Context section describes the physical issues for the design of the Physical Programme, the key objectives and how they have been addressed. It sets out the overall form of how the Physical Programme is structured. Shannon The following sections, Live, Link, Play, Learn, Work and Deliver, describe what it will be like to live and work here, and how new investment will be served by the neighbourhoods. Limerick 5.1.1.2 The Physical Programme Institute of Technology The Physical Programme defines the framework for how the regeneration of Moyross will be built. It sets out parameters for the following: • Locations, amount and density of housing Thomond Park • Alignments and key dimensions of streets, locations of and sizes of public spaces Aerial photograph showing the regeneration area (outlined) and key locations around the district. Regeneration Physical • Locations and quantity of key uses and amenities • Design guidance for buildings and public realm • Sustainability standards to be achieved for buildings, infrastructure and public spaces; These parameters are intended to be flexible, and will change over time through the ongoing public consultation process and as external circumstances dictate, detailed feasibility studies and design and in response to changing conditions which will arise during the construction process. It also includes material which illustrates the standards of development which the Programme aspires to by showing examples of how the buildings and spaces may look. The Physical principles will untimately inform a number of variations to the Limerick City Development Plan which will set out the land uses and planning objectives for the site. The planning process of the Programme is set out in greater detail in Section 6 - Delivery. 5.1.1.3 Physical conditions Urban form, use and character Section 5.2.3 below describes the existing urban form of the Moyross estate and the type and quality of residential developments therein. 79 LIMERICK REGENERATION Physical Regeneration for Moyross Summary of Issues Strengths Weaknesses Threats Opportunities Boundaries and connections Connectivity Existing and New Infrastructure The social isolation of Moyross from the rest of Limerick is Lack of connectivity to the remainder of the city will affect the With the Northern Distributor Road project which is currently River Shannon reinforced by a physical isolation created by the conditions of ability of the area to attract business and residents underway, Moyross will benefit from a direct connection to the The River Shannon is the largest and most important river the boundaries and transport connections. peripheral routes of Limerick City and very direct connections to Challanging Social Problems system in the country.

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.

  • Still Life With-Press 09-04-10
    Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 Press Release For immediate release Contact: Pippa Little, LCGA [email protected] 061 310633 Opening at the Hunt Museum, 3 June 2010. Exhibition from 4 June - 11 July 2010. http://www.connolly-cleary.com/Home/still_life_with http://www.gallery.limerick.ie The project is inspired by Patrick Hennessy’s magnificent Still life painting from the permanent collection of Limerick City Gallery of Art. Still life with... reconstructs the original Still life as a 3 dimensional set, inviting you to step right into the painting. It provides a meeting place for pixels and pigments, for moving and fixed images, for shimmering light and hard matter, for young and old. Depending on the visitor’s reaction, the exhibition can be a drawing exercise, a performance, a dialogue between old and new, a reflection on pictorial space... or simply a game. Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 In Ireland, we have a theatrical culture that allows us to imagine what is behind the scenes, but if I were to ask you what is behind the picture, you might be forgiven for replying ‘the wall!’ ‘Pictorial space’ is not in our everyday language. All the more reason to explore it. Still life with… offers us a walk through an imagined space behind the picture plane. Like Alice through the Looking Glass, the work invites the spectator to step through the frame into that imaginary space behind the painting. It makes a bridge between old media - painting and sculpture - and new media - computers, video and digital printing.
