Virtual Room open to help inform public about the Limerick Development Plan

LIMERICK City and County Council is leading the way in innovation when it comes to consultation for the Limerick Development Plan with a new โ€˜Virtual Roomโ€™.

The โ€˜Virtual Room’ is an online consultation room that has been set up to allow members of the public to access a โ€˜virtual consultationโ€™ of the new Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028.

At a time when the โ€˜traditionalโ€™ drop-in consultation evenings are not an option due to restrictions imposed as a result of Covid-19, the โ€˜Virtual Roomโ€™ allows the same experience but from your own home.

By navigating the room, members of the public can:

  • Listen to the welcome note from Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Michael Collins and Limerick City and County Councilโ€™s Chief Executive Dr Pat Daly
  • Find our more information on what is a Development Plan
  • Watch a series of videos explaining the UN Sustainability Goals and each of the Limerick Development Planโ€™s eight themes.

Information on โ€˜how to make a submissionโ€™ and further links to the โ€˜Issues Paperโ€™ and background papers are also found within the room.

The โ€˜Virtual Roomโ€™ is in addition to the usual suite of channels available to the people of Limerick to aid in this initial public consultation process of the Limerick Development Plan.

These included in-person meetings, a webinar, which remains available for viewing, meetings in all the municipal districts and two in Merchantโ€™s Quay and appointments.

To view the โ€˜Virtual Roomโ€™ log on to Limerick.ie/Limerick-Development-Plan and click on the Virtual Room panel.

Members of the public can also make a submission through our online portal MyPoint also accessible via Limerick.ie/Limerick-Development-Plan.

The deadline for submissions for this phase of the Limerick Development Plan is Monday 12 October 2020. Submissions can be made via MyPoint | [email protected] | Forward/ Strategic Planning, Limerick City and County Council, Merchantโ€™s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.
