is there any consideration of a bypass there ,
Thanks for that Shane ,

Limerick deal realises €10.8m
Wednesday August 31st 2005COLLIERS Jackson-Stops has sold Sarsfield Hall in Limerick city for over €10.8m. The deal reflects a net yield of under 4%, setting a new level for prime retail in the city.
The mixed retail and residential investment, with the shops let to Roches Stores on new long leases, was sold prior to auction. The property is in a prime retail location at the junction of O’Connell Street and William Street, Limerick’s main shopping thoroughfare.
Jonathan Hillyer, head of Investment at Colliers Jackson-Stops, remarked there was a huge amount of interest from all over the country and there will be several disappointed parties. The buyer was a Munster based investor who was willing to act quickly at a very attractive level prior to auction.
“This shows the continuing strength of the retail investment market in Ireland and in particular Limerick, which on top of significant rental growth over the last few years, has a very positive outlook going forward
Is the vacant units on sarsfield/liddy st? anyone know what kind of investment comming up in this sale?
Road news,
M4 Kilcock-kinnegad Motorway is 12months ahead of schedule and will be opneing in 3months

Any news on Portlaois -Castletown/cullahil section M7 ??? it was supposed to have stated already , yet again delayed 😡
its missery travelling thru Mountrath on bank holidays.
I have to admit, I just love the charming city of Derry! In my opinion the diamond is one of the nicest planned squares in Ireland.
I must also say I’m not a fan of the retail dev along the folye,
The Folye Bridge is one the most spectacular bridges in Ireland.
Although I have not been in Derry for quite sometime so, I’d love to see pics here! As Derry should get more of a mention from time to time!Something I came across on the news a few months back, just to note, whets the street behind the Cathedral called, it was a bustling street in the 1960s and they pedstrianised it a good few years ago,
They were proposals to restore traffic back onto the street, due to the deadness and less activity.Can anyone recall what I’m talking about??
Tk Max is also building there store on the parkway ro, in limerick soon , but not in a hurry! at least Limerick and Cork are not to far from each other, to shop . I’m surprised to see Sligo get one ! 😮 , Is debenhams moving out of the Mahon point ?
I thought they were doing well, at least cork has Debenhams and M&S can’t complain to much! 🙂
A-ha , where is TK max going up in Cork and what is it ? , there is one going in Limerick too 🙂 why is it shame that Limerick is getting H&M? 🙂 I have not been in Cork in a while, so hows the Mahon point gettin on ? trade and shops taken .. I like the development of those apartements that lex posted above. 🙂

This is the site of where the proposed hotel is going to pop up!
🙂 I really Like the Riverpoint Building , I can’t wait for the St munchins site to be demolished to , to be build from scratch and arcitecturally mirrior its neighbour, Its even more awesome to see the reflection onto the Shannon! One of the best projects ever to have hit Limericks skyline in my opinion, I’m sure most would agree 😉
The St. Munchins Building will start as soon , as the Department of Agri waiting move to a new or vacant offices , while the constructions starts.
Here’s a pic , to show the ugliness of it 😀
To this !
the Shannon rail link- is exciting news!
Thats great for the whole hinterland and not just Limerick!
the reopened Line from Ennis to Limerick , is a wonderful success. (worth mentioning)
Well ,
i just heard that there are opening the Corbally road link, that will link Grove island , mill road to Dublin road and cross near the canal. It will open within the next few weeks 🙂 A great releif at that side of the city. 🙂Shane where did you get the images of the Pedstrianisation of the city centre ,could’nt get them online :confused: 🙂
great details plans!When will O’Connell street improvement start? In my mind the plan won’t start until through traffic is removed by the New Shannon tunnell (which is to start next year)
heres a pic of the Punches cross dev. quite a deep whole ! looks like another big hotel

Canal restoration set to flow
THE eagerly awaited restoration of the Park Canal has taken a very positive step forward this week. It is being planned that the canal, which with five other European cities has been awarded funding for upgrading purposes, will also see the restoration of boating and fishing activity as well as the enhancement of its banks with leisure facilities.
First of all it has to undergo a dredging process and tenders for the process have now been secured by Limerick City Council.
The dredging process is essential in order to restore navigability and equally important is the establishment of new lock gates, one at Park Bridge and another to replace an old, disused gate at the Guinness Store. Lock gates will prevent the canal water becoming stagnant.
The mile-long Park Canal connects the Abbey River and the Shannon and the planned restoration will bring the picturesque riverway into a city context while the Shannon end will retain a rural feel. A cycleway will run from the city to the University of Limerick .
Looking forward to work commencing without delay, Cllr Kieran O’Hanlon in whose Ward the city section of the canal is, said that the Council is hoping to finalise the tendering process this week. He expressed some concern, however, that all of the tenders received are quoting a price above the 1.25million euro received by the Council for the project.
Confirming that Waterways Ireland has committed to putting in a new lock gate, the councillor stressed how vital it is that work commences as quickly as possible.
“The 1.25 million euro secured from Europe must be spent on restoration work before the end of this year, otherwise we lose the funding which would then go to another city,†he said.
Further plans for the canal include a complete restoration of the old Guinness Store, transforming the bank into an attractive walkway with top-level lighting, seating and fishing areas, landscaping as well as fishing and boating activity to include a river bus out to the University of Limerick.
The project is being spearheaded by Limerick City Council in co-operation with Shannon Development.

PdLL, Stop digging!…
This thread is for Architecture and news in limerick not, ranting, not your personal issues with Limerick.
I will just highlight something you said you were not trying to have a comparative analysis of your opinions of Galway/Limerick 😮
“U did exactly thatâ€, very hypercritical I think, You obviously have issues with Limerick, or that’s how you come across on this thread, :confused: I can’t believe you brought this up knowing the consequences, please don’t say you were unaware of this, as Deja vous doesn’t happen for no reason :rolleyes:
Limerick is just a city like most Irish urban centres faults and all, so please keep this c””p of yours to yourself.
It would be appreciated.
:rolleyes:PDLL, please don’t compare situations about Galway and Limerick , as this was dicussed on earlier times, and has gone over board. Although I’m Not dissmissing your views , but I don’t think you should bring up this issue on this thread because, its not about what Galway has that Limerick hasn’t. In my view Limerick is a city. Limerick is internationally known through a numerous reasons that i feel not to describe to you. 🙂
Thanks for that Turborg, the on post building was the one I was talking about because it was a corner site and looks a bit run down! :rolleyes:
I hope it gets rebuilt or refurbished as soon as possible 🙂
The two old sites behind the old county council buildings, is that behind O’Connell Avenue?
If that’s the one I’m thinking of, well the sites have a lot of potential 🙂Lol egg box, ah its not that bad, it was under tax incentitives :rolleyes: and at least it compliments the existing red brick and new buildings on the street, and I really do like Henry street now, having said that to, look at the state it was three years ago? 😮
That’s a very grand building, and a very tucked in area, not far from the park and the unfinished newtown Perry grid plan, which just ended along there and was meant to continue too, does anyone know what I’m on about lol….
As for punches cross, as far as I’m aware, that development is held up because, the developer is looking to change and have alterations to the exiting plans? I’m nearly sure I heard that somewhere,
The Hotels should get the height, I really don’t see why they should be objected, as there is everything going for it, been close the river, and the city centre and a stone throw to the existing high rises? that area has not much choice to build up as the land values there are high.
Fingers crossed on those hotels. 😎there’s a hotel going up on the Dock rd too, the site used to be garage, now its going to be replace with a 5 storey hotel , I believe it has started. 🙂 thanks for the pic shane , great help.
a view from king johns castle
looking up at the clarion hotel
Baals bridge, classic red brick bridge 🙂😮 whole reason for the blue signs is to signify motorways!!!! and dual carriegways signs are painted in green and should not be the same as motorways signs “logical”, as explained earlier , so it’s absalutely obvious to why they are different colour……
