    Economic Data Profiling Report for Limerick Final Report to Limerick City & County Council May 2018 Economic Data Profile for Limerick TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY…………………………………………………………………………….……………3 INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………………….……….21 SECTION A: LIMERICK ECONOMIC PROFILLING……………………………………………………24 SECTION B: PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS………………………………………………………………….…103 LIMERICK SWOT ANALYSIS………………………………………………………….………………………………….……104 LESSONS LEARNT FROM CASE STUDIES…………………………………………………………………………………….145 MEGATRENDS – IMPLICATIONS FOR LIMERICK…………………………………………………………………………..159 SECTION C: INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARKING….………………………………………………159 SECTION D: ASSESSMENT OF INVESTMENT……………………………………………………….176 1 Executive Summary & Introduction Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the last two decades there has been an increasing understanding of the importance of cities and city regions as economic, social and cultural focuses, which can drive regional and national economies. 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.

  • The Marian Year Jubilee
    The Marian Year Jubilee 1954 – 2004 Limerick’s contribution to a celebration of Faith Foreword The earliest apparition of the Blessed Virgin is said to be as early as 40 AD, probably before she died, to James the Apostle in Saragossa, Spain. There have been numerous apparitions since then, but the first in Ireland was on August 21st, 1879, in Knock, County Mayo. Margaret Beirne and thirteen others saw a beautiful woman, clothed in white gar- ments, wearing a large brilliant crown. County Mayo had suffered great distress in the 1870s. Partial famine, poverty and forced evictions had created another wave of Irish emigration. It was in this environment that the apparition occurred. The Church’s response to the apparition was typically circumspect. The Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. John MacHale set up a commission to gather testimonies of those claiming to see the apparition and then a record of purported cures was maintained until 1936. The Commission reported that their evidence was “trustworthy and satisfactory”. The Report was published in the newspapers and pilgrims began to travel from afar. One of the first organised pilgrimages to Knock Shrine came from Limerick. Further reports of cures to Limerick people strengthened the connection with Knock. On June 5th 1880 The Munster News reported the story of a woman from Shanagolden, County Limerick, “who arrived in Kilrush to take the steamer across the Shannon on her way home from Knock. Having lost her sight some years previously she had walked all the way to Knock with her young son and during her stay there, recovered her sight.
