INDEPENDENT mayoral candidate John Moran wants to make Limerick the most desirable location in Ireland to live.
The former Department of Finance General Secretary released the second pillar of his mayoral plan, which outlines his vision for a five-year term.
“In the rapidly shifting landscape of global economies, wars, and technological change, city regions like Limerick must navigate through a complex maze of challenges and opportunities” he said.
To help business navigate that maze, Mr Moran has set out 149 examples of actions to transform how business is conducted in Limerick, how to deliver more equal opportunity “irrespective of Eircode”, and how to protect prosperity better against future shocks.
“I want to deliver the environment to create thousands of new jobs for workers who will live in the houses which we said we would deliver last week and to stop the brain drain which is continuing in Limerick every year,” he said.
“We must do more for the talent emerging from our educational institutions across Limerick. We need to stop the brain drain of talented young people.”
Mr Moran’s plan says his plan outlines specific actions to be taken as one Limerick to prepare for and seize opportunities in renewable energy and other changes happening in the world.
He says the plan has specific measurable actions covering sectors like SMEs and indigenous businesses, agri and food, creative industries, manufacturing and engineering, retail and tourism, and FDI. There is a specific section to position Limerick to embrace new technology and artificial intelligence.
