Participantwell i cant’t help my self and this, is to ewankennedy ,i wonder where you get your facts from???? you mentioned that cork generated more econmic out put than is both galway and limerick than cork is absoulatly not true , so don’t be stating untrue facts the midwest including limerick is just as big as cork if not bigger , shannon employs as much as a medium sized city as well as , limerick is wealtheir that cork per capita fact and im not going to fall down on bluff , another thing the north circular road i think its south circular , corrrect me if i am wrong . that street was voted the poshest street outside of dublin last year , i read it out of the property magazine.
at the start i just wanted some thruths about limerick that people tend to forget or believe misleading stuff about limerick. i know the thread has got out of hand but i don;t think i should or like minded people should beleive false information about limerick. i have not said anyrhing bad about the other regional cities so…. the bla bla talk is what kept this mess all going .

Or are they recladding it, i think the computer mock ups showed as being part of the scheme!
Is anything going planned alongside the Clarion, back in riverside towards the junkyard or whatever it is, can’t imagine to many customers in the clarion are overjoyed at that view.

ParticipantHmmm – so Galway is no longer your target – time to move onto Cork!
Maybe I’ll check back next week when Waterford is getting assasinated.
Limerick is an Irish city – it has it’s pro’s and it’s cons like everywhere else. It’s great that someone is defending it, but move on from the comparison type argument. It should stand up on it’s own merits. The Cork thread on this board is focused on what’s happening there alone and not how what happens there compares to elsewhere.

catch yourself on. If Limerick can include Shannon then Cork can certainly include Ringaskiddy and then it’s all over for you since Viagra is what keeps Ireland PLC ticking over.

ParticipantMaybe an obvious place to start (albeit post 52) but here are some links from Murray O laoire Architects Limerick office.

This sports building is the first part of an overall masterplan for Mary Immaculate College. It should go to site in summer. Its really quite an interesting looking building.
May 12, 2005 at 1:44 pm #753110dave123
Participantwhat an interesting building. it should mix with old the old college well.

Participantwell i cant’t help my self either
The facts from the 2002 census back up EwanKennedy’s claim that Cork’s greater population is greater than Limerick and Galway combined is correct.
Main Towns
Total Population (including Suburbs or Environs)
Cork 186,239… this does not include Carrigaline, Midleton, Cobh, Passage West, Glanmire, Blarney, Tower (or any other of the satellite towns, although it does include Ballincollig);
Limerick 86,998 (Includes Castletroy, and the suburbs in Co. Clare);
Galway 66,163 (doesn’t include Oranmore)Do your sums
now can you back up that limerick city is wealtheir that cork per capita fact?
how come property prices don’t back-up this apparent wealth?BTW… Ringaskiddy and the Pharmachem region generate in excess of $8 billion per annum alone.
Now I’m off back to the thread that keeps me coming back to this forum ๐
And now I feel really childish ๐

ParticipantThat’s not what EwanKennedy claimed. He claimed Galway was bigger than Limerick which I don’t think is the case. He also claimed that Cork had a higher economic output than Limerick and Galway combined and thus Limerick couldn’t be wealthier than Cork. As I explained earlier, it’s not the overall economic output that determines wealth (try telling a Vietnamese that they’re wealthier than an Irish person) but output per head. And it is a matter of record (central statistics office) that COUNTY Limerick is wealthier than COUNTY Cork or COUNTY Galway. The CSO doesn’t publish income per head on a city basis, so that’s the closest we can get to an established “fact”.

Participantlet… it… go…

ParticipantCan we change the name of this thread to “Is Limerick bigger and wealthier then Galway”, and then start a new one about development in Limerick?
May 12, 2005 at 5:56 pm #753115ewankennedy
ParticipantYes please! this is getting so old.
All I’d like to say now is “can we really trust a woman who leaves her feminine ointments next to the mayonaise in the fridge? That was the worst sandwich I ever ate!”
it seems as relevant as any other comment made here. could one of the webmasters maybe fix this???
anyone got a pic of the new Royal bank of scotland building?

ParticipantWell isn’t that lovely for Cork, I’m sure your are right!! :rolleyes: well im not going to argue against Cork ,not to mention that you have have a of much of county Cork covered
hmmm
Not all the suburbs in the CSO are mentioned in the greater limerick area , limerick also spills out past Castletroy to Annacotty and Newport ! which is in Tipperary anyway.
As with Galway,,,oranmore is a good few miles out to be a suburb or about to be one!!!
in that case stop throwing in silly things like adding the towns around the cities , that should not be the case.
Limerick is a lot bigger than the figures and boundary stats tells us , and i’m not going to mention all the towns likewisw ,around it.
Its pointless, Limerick is bigger than Glaway ,fact,no matter if you travel 15 miles out or add up all the areasAs for Cork its the slowest natural growth rate than all the ciies!!!hahaha (in terms of Populatrion)
well i Do know Cork is bigger , you wasted time typing that mickeydocs lol…..
Raheen is in limerick not 15 miles like ringaskiddy !!! which employs nearly 20,000 people ! which has a big output not to mention DELL or analog !!! and so on ……..
Limeick is the fastest growing commercial centre outside of the Dublin area ! so i don’t care what your opinions are going to actually be.
I’m comfortable sticking to facts, that you guys refuse to believe. ! because you know what the answerwill be I’m beginning to see that you are honest about your childlish behaviour.As with cheap property prices
The media like to give Limerick a bad name , so obviously that will affect prices.
the city boundary affects the land prices a lot ,
There are very expensive areas in limerick , unfortunatly You dont know it ,
you see Limerick property was doing very well before the celtic boom kicked in and in Limerick and even today there is an oversupply of housing and do on , so that is one reason why its cheaper ,May 13, 2005 at 1:36 pm #753117BTH
ParticipantDave, are you 14 or what? Because your comments really do seem very immature…
