Building another bridge across the Shannon will obviously lead it on to the already heavily congested Condell Road building it further down river will bring it onto the heavily congested Ennis Road, so that why they are building a tunnel that goes from Roxboro all the way to Shannon with a few exits along the way, taking traffic off the Limerick to Shannon/Ennis Road
OH MY FUCK!!!:eek: (sorry about the language) You have to check out the Limerick Leader this week, there’s the plans for the new dockland, in my opinion this development MUST go ahead, its fantastic, said to create 1000 jobs. It even includes a new Multistory bulding, far more impressive and taller than Riverpoint and The Clarion Hotel. There’s also more articles on the Quality Hotel, Punches Hotel and the hotel on Sir Harry’s Mall. They also show what the Limerick Port want to do with the Docks and its basically the same. They need to sell it now because nobody cares about ships and maritime industry anymore in Limerick. This could be Limericks IFSC or Canary Wharf. Anyone else got an opinion?
Heuston Station is my favourite, I find the staff there to be very nice aswell. There’s always a great atmosphere in Heuston and it’s situated in a gorgeous building in a gorgeous part of the city.
Does anybody know when Construction will start on the Opera Centre? I cant even find who the building contractors are. I read that its a belfast firm called Regeneration Developments but i cant find anything about them on the internet! anybody know anything?:confused:
The Roxboro road part of the station looks a bit odd! They only got planning permission on half of the site! its a bit mad! i wouldnt say they’ll fit a bus station in there!!!!
Is that building stil on bedford row? behind the cinema facade? 😮 wow! that building will look mighty fine wen its done! wen will it be restored????
i hope they make a good job of Colbert Station. I hope they do a nice job of the new bus station on the Roxboro Road. That place is a real waste of space since the freight has stopped! If they go ahead and put the station there they should clean up the Roxboro Road, the old CBS building in the front next to CIE is disgraceful.
5-6 years since it closed? some of the things in the pictures dont look that recent! What was on in there up until the time it closed?
Actually Speaking of Retail Spaces, Limerick has too many empty retail spaces! Gerald Griffin St., Baker Place, Edward Street/ Peoples Park apartment etc etc. If Limerick continue to build things with retail units that don;t have a demand one day limerick could be full of abandoned shells eg. Careys Road/Hyde Road junction.
The New Quality Hotel is opening on the 25th but im not sure about Patrick Punche’s Hotel a banner outside says august but the job advertisement in the paper says september. The Marriott in Town is coming along nicely as is The Hilton and The George is almost finished. Am i forgettting any of the new hotels that kind of came here all at once?
hey i saw that backspacee called the proposed tunnel under the shannon “The chunnel” but i think it should be called “The Shunnel”! Its not the Channel tunnel its the Shannon tunnel! get me?
I know this hasn’t anything got to do with The Census but i’ve read that Marks & Spencer are really starting to become interested in Limerick now. Also, Colbert Station is to be redeveloped and Lidl is to open another store on the Ennis Road.
Superdrug which was advertising jobs in the Limerick Leader last week is opening in Sports 2000 as far as i know
oh yeah! i forgot to mention! Sisk have been hired for more development at the Crescent Shopping Centre. I don’t know if its gonna be retail yet!:)
yeah i noticed that sign too! Some should get onto the council about a new sign. Riverpoint does look georgeous when coming over the Shannon Bridge but i must say the bridge is in need of a lick of paint! I saw recently a clip showing Limerick in the early 90’s and it looked very nice but now the faded red (now dark pink) and cream paint is covered in dust and dirt from cars and trucks crossing the bridge! Also the path needs a power hosing, in the clip i saw the path was very new and clean looking!!!
Down next to Instore and Molly’s Bar close to the Milk Market there is a shell of a building thats there for around 2 or 3 years! It seems that it was started but never finished! Does anyone know what it was meant to be and why construction stopped?
Yes the buildings may be ugly but the majority of people in Limerick enjoy the shops that are in them and to get rid of the buildings they are in would damage the shops business and damage the city!
I hope that Arthurs Quay, the Dunnes Block and the Penneys/Burger King Buildings are here to stay for a long time!
