Are you stone crazy? how do you protect wetlands while simultaneously building on them? What about access roads , pipes etc. The article clearly states half the land would have to be reclaimed, leaving it clear they intend the other 50% to come from the Wetlands themselves. Meanwhile, Limerick city proper is literally full of undeveloped sites. I’m all for development, but this would be a disaster for the city, imagine the shame of having a special EU conservation area concreted over? What does this city have against parkland, between trying to sell of Arthur’s Quay, the People’s Park and now this?

I honestly wonder how you could even begin to to consider this project anything other than a disaster for the area.

Here, Here!! This thread is obviously turning into a pro development at all costs thread. Like that other Cork thread here. This is probably the last place that building should happen. A flood plain! Global warming anybody?
