Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Darragh O'Brien)

The Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan (LRFIP) 2014-2023 which was adopted by the Council in 2014 provides a roadmap for the physical, social and economic regeneration of the target areas of Moyross, Southill, Ballinacurra Weston, and St Mary’s Park. The detailed advancement of the Limerick Regeneration programme is a matter for Limerick City and County Council.

Details of social housing delivery including homes delivered under the Regeneration programme is published as part of the comprehensive programme level statistics published by my Department on a quarterly basis. This data is available for all local authorities to the end of Quarter 2 2023 and is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.

A breakdown on the number of units delivered to date under the LRFIP is set out in the table below.

Year	No of New Units Delivered
2013	34
2014	64
2015	10
2016	2
2017	91
2018	57
2019	4
2020	0
2021	2
2022	0

Limerick City and County Council also have projects, which are currently on site and expected to deliver as follows:

Year	Expected No of Units to be Delivered
2023	51
2024	69

As the LRFIP concludes in 2023, Limerick City and County Council is working on a Status Update for Limerick Regeneration.

The resulting report on the Status Update will assess the current position and provide strategic master plan options, targets and recommendations including proposed new build mixed tenure programmes for the post 2023 period, out to 2030. The process is well advanced and my Department is advised that the report will be completed shortly.
