€2.5 million has been allocated by Environment Minister Alan Kelly to implement the recommendations of a report commissioned by Limerick City and County Council to examine the impact of Limerick Regeneration on its hinterland.
The €2.5 million will be matched by a similar amount from the local authority’s own resources.
