Martins Construction Ltd, Co. Clare were successful in the competitive tender for construction of this development, which is in the region of €3 million.

Welcoming the announcement Cllr Francis Foley, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said, “This development of eight new homes will be very beneficial for the area as it will see a derelict site being re-developed for housing and the creation of a new community. This is the latest development being undertaken by Limerick Regeneration as it continues to deliver on the overall programme.”

The process of design and approval has been lengthy but now that we have commenced development we are committed to getting the homes delivered to a high standard as quickly as possible.”

Construction is to resume shortly on 14 homes already partially constructed by the Peter McVerry Trust while the Trust is working to procure a new contractor to construct a further 24 in Moyross and Southill.
