Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

My Department has been in dialogue with Limerick City & County Council regarding a capital appraisal the authority submitted in connection with the development of Brannigan’s site on Mulgrave Street. The matter is now with the local authority and it is for them to decide the next steps and to engage with the local community in this regard.
