Raheen into town, ennis road into town, and castletroy into town. i think
the raheen one is under construction they are widening the road
I also believe childers road is going to be widened also.

Woah, lads calm down. Fact is we all want to see Limerick progress and develop, and we should utilise both archiseek.com and boards.ie as separate and valuable forums in both promoting Limerick and developing a positive image for Limerick.
Tuborg, is there any chance you inadvertantly copied Billy’s pictures without providing a link?
Billy, you should be proud that your pictures have been chosen to be used on a thread about the changing face of Limerick.
All in all, either way it’s good to see the city looking as well as it has been recently.
I can live with that. I’ve made my points on this thread and have no intention of dragging it out anymore anyway.
anyway getting back to the matter at hand. I am hearing talk of a fly-over being built either in or accross the ballinacurra road. It is in someway related to what the mayor of limerick wants to call “the Ted Russell Tunnel” the one going under the Shannon.
anyone know where I can find maps of the planned tunnel and associated roads being built?

Why dont you just have me prosecuted for infringing your copyright so if it makes you happy!, seen as you seem to own every photo that was ever taken of limerick!
nope just those two I pointed out. I also know who took the first though.
Also what exactly does your little gimmick of an archive prove?, it just brings you back to the same page all the time. Maybe i’ve got the website address wrong, it was a long time ago after all but there was definately a limerickcity dot something website going for a couple of years, i got piles of photo’s from it including some very rare ones from the 50s and 60s!
It shows that the website that you claim the pictures came from hasn’t changed in over three years. the links at web.archive.org do not link to the current page, they leed to the page of the website as it looked on the date indicated in each link.
Just so i can sleep easy tonight, do you have any problem with the last picture i posted, do you want to shake your head and sigh some more or perhaps even “berate me”?

It is not mine, but whatever site it did come from could have been credited.
I dont mind you using pictures belonging to me, what I do find objectionable is your denying the very existance of people whose work you are posting on this forum.

Sorry to bust your bubble a bit Billy! but i think you’ll find that the last 2 photographs came from the website limerickcity.net,which i downloaded some time ago, it contained many excellent photographs of the city,it was a pretty useful website but the original seems to have dissapperaed and the replacement is very dissapointing, the first one came from limerick.com and possibly the second one as well, im not sure where they get their photographs but they certainly didnt credit the pics to anyone, if some of them are yours fair enough!, Now have you come on here to talk about relevant topics or just to cry over some pictures!, and btw when exactly did you “berate” me?
On a more serious topic i saw the image of the Opera centre in the leader myself and i must say i was pretty horrified, i was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by this project but i suppose i was just kidding myself really, that entrance looks absolutely hideous, i shudder to think what the proposed “sky bridge” will look like:eek: They were obviously looking for something striking to mark the entrance to the centre but there is such a thing as integration with other buildings on the street and on that front the design team have failed dismally! .At least its good to see that the original facades on rutland street and patrick st are being kept intact, all the retailers here have to vacate their premises so presumably we’ll see some very different faces on this stretch in the years to come. They seemed to have toned down the madness a bit on the ellen street side, the first couple of buildings here would appear to be up for demolition.Good to see the city council say they’re going to evaluate the proposal in detail to see if the development is right for Limerick, the principle is fine: a new city centre shopping area but i just wonder is a 4 floor mall the best way to deliver this!
This is what currently stands at the proposed entrance to “the Opera centre”
Also lower Thomas st was officially closed to traffic on friday, so it looks like the next phase of the city centre pedestrianisation programme should be starting shortly, it involves the pedestrianisation of thomas st lower,little william st and augustine lane with streetscape renewal works on little catherine st.
I would like to see a link for the Limerick.com picture you claim, as I have a copy here dating back to may 2005
pictures 2 and 3 are mine. they are still in my camera.
You claim thet limerickcity.net has changed since you came accross the image. The wayback machine disagrees with you

snapshot of limerickcity.net from 2003
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.limerickcity.net
all other snapshots of the site.There is an artist impression of the new shopping centre to be built in the city centre in the Limerick Leader this week on Mairead Nai Caoimhe’s column. page 7 of the county edition.
be warned though the quality is pretty rubbish.
Also justnotbothered i dont know what you’re getting at here, i’ve never even heard of boards.ie, would you like to explain this comment?
I believe I berated you over there for posting these images and not crediting their owners. The First one was taken for a competition I ran on boards.ie, the other two were taken by myself.
EDIT : Actually berate is the wrong word, shook my head and sighed might be a more accurate description.
and just so I dont come empty handed to the thread

oh and one more thing. Anyone mention the RPA recommending a tram system for Limerick
