N4 co-founder and President Colum McCann launching Narrative 4 Ireland in June 2016 at 58 O’ Connell Street, Limerick. 3 A Welcome Letter From the Chairperson of Narrative 4 Ireland. In June 2016, with the help of Limerick City and County Council and The JP McManus Benevolent Fund, Narrative 4 Ireland opened a state-of-the-art creative facility in Limerick. We were given access to a dilapidated Georgian townhouse that once served as a public library on O’ Connell Street. Because of its literary history, Limerick seemed like a natural place in which to set up a storytelling centre - a place where young people from across the city, and indeed the globe, could come together to step into one another’s shoes. That is the fundamental tenet of Narrative 4 – You tell my story, I will tell yours. This act of radical empathy is designed so that the true function of stories – to connect us and bring us alive in bodies not our own – can not only live on, but flourish.Once you realise the value of your story, you can turn that empathy into action on the ground. It’s a whole new way of listening and seeing. Limerick has always been a big-hearted town. And story-telling has always been at the centre of what propels Irish people. Since we have opened three years ago, we have worked with tens of thousands of young people; all eager to tap into their creativity and tell their stories. The Story Exchange allows us to see each other and ourselves in new ways, to connect in profound ways. Our shared humanity becomes apparent. What is the new world except the story of everybody else? I co-founded Narrative 4 in 2012 along with Lisa Consiglio in response to the realisation that barriers are being shoved into place and stereotypes reinforced at an alarming rate around the world. Today Narrative 4 programmes are running in Ireland, the USA, Mexico, UK, South Africa, Israel, Palestine, Nigeria and Columbia giving young people a platform and a sense of hope. With your help we are building a thriving network of exchange participants, practitioners and supporters around the world: all of this is an Irish initiative, radiating from Limerick, but it has spread itself across the globe. On the following pages we celebrate what has unfolded in Ireland in a single year; from intergenerational story exchanges; projects on mental health to partnerships and facilitator training. 2018 was a landmark year for Narrative 4 Ireland; as well as being awarded Social Innovation Fund Ireland’s Youth Mental Health Award for our innovative programme,our Storytelling Centre won Limerick Tidy Town’s Building of the Year; and an exchange between British and Irish young people was featured in the Guardian newspaper.

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.

    LIMERICK REGENERATION 5.1 Physical Regeneration for Moyross Delmege Estate Regeneration Physical 77 LIMERICK REGENERATION Castle Park House and Delmege Estate St Nessan’s Community Watch House Cross College Limerick Institute of Technology Thomond Park 78 LIMERICK REGENERATION 5.1 Physical Regeneration for Moyross 5.1.1 CONTEXT Chapter Two of this document outlines the Strategic Context in which this programme must be consistent with as the regeneration moves forward. 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.

  • Behind the Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – the Case of Moyross
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository Behind The Headlines: Media Coverage of Social Exclusion in Limerick City – The Case of Moyross Eoin Devereux, Amanda Haynes and Martin J. Power Introduction 1 In a media setting, and within the public mind, Ireland’s ‘Third City’ has acquired an intensely negative reputation over time. While there are many historical precedents for the maligning of the place’s image, it is generally agreed that the 1980s reached a new low within media practice with the ascription, in some media quarters, of the label ‘Stab City’ to Limerick. The blanket representation of Limerick as a place of crime, social disorder, poverty and social exclusion has continued and it has been amplified in recent years, particularly in the context of the feuds between rival drugs gangs, most of which have been played out in the city’s marginalized local authority estates such as Moyross, St. Mary’s Park, Southill and Ballinacurra Weston. Understandably, a variety of interest groups have expressed concern over the ways in which Limerick generally and marginalized areas in particular have been misrepresented by the mass media 2. Our focus in this chapter is not on the veracity or not of individual stories about Limerick, but rather our task is to get behind the headlines and to examine, in detail, the making of media messages concerning one socially excluded area in Limerick City, namely Moyross. We focus on the role of print and broadcast media professionals in the (mis)representation of this area.
