I assume this is just one those pie in the sky reports that some consultants get paid a fortune to come up with and is never implemented?

After having a quick read through, that's exactly what it is. Plans to demolish Arthurs Quay and Sarsfield House, put a public square near Pennys, replace Dunnes on Sarsfield St. with an iconic public building. And it will cost between €250m and €750m.

Must be the umpteenth one of these "ambitious" reports that pop up every few years. Has the stamp of Shannon Development:rolleyes: all over it.

fwiw, here's a linky to the plan.

http://www.limerick.ie/media/An%20Economic%20and%20Spatial%20Plan%20for%20Limerick%202030-Executive%20Summary.pdf

Don't hold yer breath anyone.


On a related note, I see part of this plan foresees a "Plaza" at Colbert Station. Whatever merits or otherwise of that, it's pointless doing anytyhing up there until the tappers, winos and general scum that hang around one of the city's major gateways isn't cleared away from there.

2030? Huh? There wont even be a city centre at that stage. Better get it started now so that they can finish on time.

On that separate note - that Plaza plan for Colbert station was first mooted about 3 years ago if not longer

Plus they don't even own Arthurs Quay SC, Dunnes on Sarsfield St. or the buildings behind Penneys and Debinhams that they're planning to demolish. And have they said where they intend to rehouse the hundreds of people who works in Sarsfield House?

That area badly need redevelopment but I agree re that they don't own the area.Some of the stuff will happen like ped. the streets etc.Not sure about the rest thought.The renders of Arthurs Quay looks ok on the plan though..

Well extrapolating from our vaunted town planners past performance....
They will probably arrange to move all those employees out to one of the Industrial estates....
And then it will dawn on them that they actually needed to keep them in the town centre to provide custom to our new riverside cafés....
Then they shall demolish the plaza to build some offices to allow staff to be moved back into the city...
It will create a cyclical and perpetual need for construction crews at the very least

They actually do own arthurs quay shopping centre

flutered

as for the jobs in foynes, dont hold your breath anyone, the proposed plant if built will blow dirty black smoke, it will be worse than alcan, the chances are that it will not get planning permission, on a tourist route, bad air etc etc.

Pretty sure that centre is owned by Michael Tiernan (Tiernan Properties).

I think that he is one of the proponents of this plan, but the shopping centre is still his.

Fairly sure the council own it and as he developed it he was given a 20 year profits deal like the toll bridges it reverted back to council ownership last year

You may be correct.
However Tiernan Properties are still listed as the contact address (and email) for Arthur's Quay.

Right. The ownership of Arthurs Quay SC came up last year was discussed in this thread. See post #40 from Beer Baron.
Doncove Ltd own Arthurs Quay. The council run the car park through a sub lease with Tiernan, and had an option to buy the car park only this year.
I don't know if they went ahead with the pruchase yet, but the don't now and never have owned the shopping center.

So there will be basically only one nightclub left in Limerick..the Icon.. in a city of nearly 100,000 people that also serves the surrounding small towns and villages....thats mad!!

Then obviously the vast majority of 100,000 people don't want to go to a night club otherwise there would be more open. Late bars seem to be the new trend now.

There's also the SinBin, Aubars and Costellos. There may not be a great choice, but there's more than one.
And as bazz26 said, not everyone likes going to clubs. I much prefer the late bars.

And the owners.
As cookiemunster mentioned Duncove Ltd are the owners of Arthur's Quay.
This is an extract from solocheck.ie;
'Doncove was set up on Tue the 3rd of Jan 1989 in Limerick. Their current status is Normal. The company's current directors Mark Peter Tiernan, Hugh Michael Tiernan, Dr. Maeve Tiernan, Michael Tiernan and Ruth Maria Tiernan have been the director of 30 other companies between them - 5 of which are now closed.'

Lot of Tiernans in that company.....

The council doesnt own it. Its Tiernan who owns it but the Council operate the car park on behalf of Tiernan properties. They own the opera centre site. There was a previous discussion here which touched on this matter previously

Original word from the owners of the Orchard who are opening the club was that it would be open for June/July. With the recent recruitment campaign id assume it is soon. Il find out during the week anyway but it will be great to have a new club. There is a huge fitout going on inside the club. I did hear there this week however that they may be waiting until september to launch it.
