Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

Im beginning to lose track of all these masterplans that are being dreamt up, each one bigger and bolder than the last! We’ve had the Docklands regeneration plan (going nowhere fast!), the Opera centre (still in limbo!) the Aurthurs Quay/Liddy Street area, the new iconic/landmark structure for the city and now this! Theres nothing wrong with stimulating debate but you would have to wonder will the proposal ever get off the ground? is it too radical for Limerick?

Certainly the idea of demolishing Cruises Street is an intriguing one, the units there are quite small for modern retailing requirements and its long term future is probably uncertain. Its incredible to think that the lifespan of certain developments is now so short, Cruises Street only opened in 1992!
