can anyone tell me whats happening opposite the fire station? there seems to be a lot of road works there, also inside a big site there too, also by the maternity hospital on the ennis rd, are they making a bus lane there?

the first floodlight is up in the gaelic grounds, on the side of the macky stand and clare side terrace..its absolutely HUGE! dworfs thomonds floodlights!
the other floodlight is up beside it, im guessing the other 2 are going up for the end of the week

Yeah, a new link road is being built between Cathedral Place and Sexton Street as part of the orbital route, St John’s pavillion is to be demolished to make way for it.
If its “a huge site” as D-A-V-E refers to, then it’s possibly Costelloes yard, which is right beside John’s pavillion. This is the proposed site for the new courts complex but that project is very much in its infancy and there is no guarantee that it will even get off the drawing board. I must take a spin out that direction and have a look for myself!
ya costellos yard looks like the rite place, it looked like the whole area was cleared and there was a few builders carrying wheelbarrows etc into the site so something is deffinately underway
i was driving away from william st coming onto mulgrave st and i noticed on my right that there is loads of builders in there clearing a huge site. whats going in there?
ya it was mentioned in the post and the forums a while ago, somewhere on the ballysimon road..one of those retail parks like delta or city east retail or eastway..i think it was to have a 10 screen cinema with a restaurant and some arcades or something like that..the blueprints were floating around awhile ago, cant remember when the place is to be build, i heard it was to start straight away..kind of a stupid location in my openion. castletroy and raheen have cinemas, northside and town should be the next place
theres at least one tower crane down by the gaelic grounds as i speak, obviously the erection of the floodlights in underway!
is that development on henry st stopped completely? what exactly are they building there? and is there any truth in the roumers of the eircom building behind riverpoint getting re developed?

Well Castletroy is a very large plush suburb. The c.s.o figures says its only around 15,000:confused:. Maybe the exodus of Limerick during the munster rugby weekend meant the census figures were mislead.
I think Limerick city council should now focus on building up Caherdavin now that it has much greenfield and suburban land on its doorstep since the boundary has been extended.
The whole population of Limerick is 95,000. So I can’t see Castletroy been 32,000.
i dunno man, a lot of people have heard a lot of different things..personally i think the greater limerick area is bigger than 100,000 a lot of people are saying that..the 32000 includes the greater area like anacotty, newtown, monaleen, plassey etc also with this new cinema going into ballysimon (which i only recently learned was just outside castletroy!) i found that its population on cso says its around 12-15k so it might be included in the whole ‘greater castletroy area’ but thats an argunemt for another day!
on another note, has anyone any renders of the facade of the bank on o connell st thay are doing up?
also when that building on the dock road is going ahead?

They can’t just leave a half finished shopping centre there like that, can there be a solution to this crisis. Its still very valuable and attractive to be one of the best provincial centres in the country. The current suburban population already holds 20,000 and thats not including the city.
Lisnagry, Annacotty and Castlertroy. This is not mentioning Like Newport and Castleconnel and surrounding North Tipp region
There is a huge market
i dunno if your talking about just castletroy alone but i heard it was over 32,000, thats not including the raheen/dooradoyle area which is supposed to be around the 25,000 mark 😮
it doesn’t do the rest of the stadium any justice anyway, really puts it down on that side..the new stand will have to be quite small in order to fit between the pitce and the road..or, and i hope its this..it will have to be very steep!

Seemingly there are plans to knock and replace the stand in the Gaelic grounds with something ‘decent’.. it took a long time to get planning for the floodlights so it’ll be a few years yet before we’ll see a new stand.
cool do you know if this is actually going ahead, how big will it be etc..probably going to be a nightmear building it as you have a busy road immediately adjacent to it!
i passed the gaelic grounds yesterday, they seemed to be doing a lot of digging around there..it wouldnt have anything to do with the new floodlights would it? i know they are going to have floodlights for the international rules test in october
i dont get this at all..coonagh shopping centre..refused..ennis road retail park..refused (reasons were it would be too expensive and no plans were given for limerick to get a third cinema), same for parkway valley(although it would have been stupid for castletroy to have 2 cinemas)..and all of a sudden ballysimon road gets one? where the hell is city east plaza like?
has that development off henry st stopped alltogether? it looks like nothing has been done for the past few weeks now! any pics of the refurbishment of the bank on the corner of bedford row and o’connell st?
iv noticed over the past few weeks that there are a few more cranes up by the parkway valley, are things moving on again? i counted around ten at peak construction then it was reduced to about 4 now theres about 7..
