Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1760. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of housing units demolished, refurbished and built under the regeneration programme in Limerick city to date, in tabular form. [1204/18]
View answerThe detailed advancement of the Limerick Regeneration programme is a matter for Limerick City & County Council. Based on information provided by the Council, the numbers of housing units newly built, refurbished, improved under the thermal upgrade programme and those demolished, are as set out in the following table.
The Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan (LRFIP) published in 2013, saw a move away from demolitions and a prioritisation of both refurbishments and the delivery of targeted, high quality new housing construction, along with a continued focus on community and economic supports. Good progress is being made in implementing the LRFIP across the physical, social and economic pillars of regeneration, as can be seen in a review published in December 2016 which is available at the following link: https://www.limerick.ie/council/services/housing/regeneration/limerick-regeneration-framework-implementation-plan.
