Auld Mr Brennan is building a new playground in....

MOYROSS! Great news for the area. Fair play to everyone that voted and well done to Concy Ryan on his efforts for this to be achieved.

A playground that is hands down one of the best in the city!

I'm originally from the area and I for one think its a joke that its getting an upgrade!
There are many many other areas around the whole country that are more in need of playgrounds and other facilities than Moyross!

So in a couple of months, they'll have a renovated playground, A lovely community centre, a health centre, a community creche, and even a credit union!
And thats not taking into account the other facilities available in the area! Just those within 50yds of the playground!
Oh wait, those things are all already there

Only thing they'll need in a few months then is people to use them
Because with all the houses being knocked down and families moved to other area's........How long before there is no need at all for a playground there?
As it stands apart from the playgroup's going there from the community creché it is very under utilised anyway.
Any sense of community spirit has long deserted the place,apart from a few dedicated people down there who always try their level best to get some good going there......it is long gone!
But to those People who pushed and prodded to get everyone voting, Well done!
I hope your neighbours realise how much ye want to live in a neighbourhood and have that sense of community again!
Enjoy the playground!

Oh come. It's a deprived area or didn't you know.

Well, deprived when "they" want something of course

It's interesting to see how Moyross is now. I personally don't see the point in rebuilding Moyross, top class facilities or not. We should focus on having a much smaller Moyross, imo.

Talked to a few of the locals about this. Response was "sure there is nothing wrong with the one that we have, except the fact that nobody uses it because of all the hassle down there."

I didn't bother voting for it. Although council property I would have thought that Clare Street park would have been a better option.

I loved that park when I was a kid. It had everything! Monkey-bars, ladders, fire-man's pole, see-saws. I think most of those are gone now. Too much of an insurance risk.

If only Bakeries all over Limerick could be persuaded to please turn the sorry state of the City around.......

- Perhaps they should merge Limerick City Council with the County Council and Johnston, Mooney and O'Brien?

Its a sad, sad joke that essential Public Services are now neglected until Companies eventually wade in for PR reasons

having looked at the pics, I have to be honest, I thought some of the others needed it more.
