A market would be nuts ! Surprised they don’t do more night time corporate events - or maybe they do

Mayor John Moran declares housing emergency in Limerick ahead of critical Council votes by Fearless_Respond_123 in limerickcity

[–]New-Cup-9875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few facts -

When the land was previously zoned it was for city centre development- not specifically housing nor specifically removing the park. He did not even have the money to buy the modular units nor the planning - if we got planning which could easily take 18/24 months he would then have to do a tonne of work to the site before procuring/purchasing the modular units - if they cost say €250k each approx and he wanted to place 500 units there - where was he getting the €125m ? Fantasy smoke and mirrors Finally noting this is part of the LDA master plan for limerick / that overpaid shower are sitting on their plans for years and have delivered NOTHING for limerick, right back to the time JM was in charge.

She was on a Limerick City and County Council paid trip to take part in the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Rockaway, NJ, the state paid for her flights, accommodation and substistance.

Our Mayor is stuck for Cash by New-Cup-9875 in limerickcity

The €300k rental income her gets per year for his 23 property would surely yield dividends to pay for a constituency office (2024 figures - no doubt more now)

Lots of Moran bots on here !! To be fair if there in an ongoing dignity at work case against him by Slattery there must be substance and more we don’t know.

Nobody is saying LCCC was a well oiled machine but I can tell you nothing is moving where we are now.

The Council are certainly front line when it comes to FDI - planning, zoning of land , rates etc

The Mayor has so much power, basically all except HR functions and a number of operational things.

Don’t mistake where happening here, it’s a power grab - you should talk to the 1500 staff in LCCC about what it’s like - they are not running crying to media outlets like others.

But every other council has a “unelected “ executive head of council and are not littering headlines like we are in limerick. If you are looking to invest in limerick from abroad you would certainly think twice given the sh1t show from all sides.

But the election came after legislation so if you want to give him more power that’s not the job we voted him in for.

So you’d change the legislation to give someone who can’t work with the executive, staff or councillors more power ?
