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 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.
