Limerick City: Limerick City and County Council has issued the following news release:

Limerick City and County Council working with our local partners prepared submissions and applied to the Department with four specific projects having to demonstrate a clear and direct linkage between the proposal and the relevant Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) and in the case of metropolitan areas the relevant Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan.

These projects submitted by Limerick City and County Council have received funding as part of Call 2 of the URDF. They are:

World Class Waterfront EU73.4m - The development of a world-class waterfront linking the Opera site and the proposed new UL Campus across the river to the Cleeves riverside campus and towards the docklands incorporating major improvements at Arthur's Quay, riverside flood defences, high quality public realm, a pedestrian bridge from the city to Cleeves and signature buildings. There are three strands to the project.

Cleeves Riverside Quarter

The proposal represents a unique opportunity to develop a high quality mixed-use development of scale, which will secure the long term transformational and rejuvenation of a brownfield City Centre site, which will result in focused compact city growth. This funding will be used to kick-start development on the site, and to restore the protected buildings.
