    Well, I've spoken to friends in the Moyross region who own their houses, lived there all their lives and would prefer to stay. A family member who works in social services says the same and has indicated people who've been interviewed about it feel the same.

    There is a lot of sceptisicm about regeration financially too, especially when the funds required to pull it off effectively are just not there anymore, and there are a lot of other spending anomalies going on with the way it's been managed. FAS anyone ???

    There is also the question of where the people who cause trouble are going to go. It's not into short term secure accomodation (aka hostels) anymore as the head of regernation said was going to be the case (about 12 months ago). He said (along with politicians) these people will not get new houses in the regenerated areas. Oh no. They've earmarked these troublemakers for new houses outside the regenerated areas though they will deny it. Of course it's all academic. I think only houses which are old/decrepit will get knocked, I don't think any new houses will ever be built in their place. The regeneration committiee will just pay lip service, make promises, and maybe a few deserving people might get new houses out of this. And those scumbags who are renting who want to move out, will do it anyway through the social rehousing scheme which has been the case for many years.

    Go back and read it again... esp the part in "BOLD" .... If you still can't understand why I called it dumb come back to me..

    Oh Yeah I didn't call it "bullsh*t", I called it "boll##ks"...

    The comments in BOLD print are not even yours, they are Bertys that you've just highlighted! So no, i still cant understand why you think they're dumb, because you've not said so yourself. You've merely said his comments are stupid, without giving a REASON why you are of this opinion.

    I often put my name into the Boards.ie search function to see who is making references to me and this page came up.

    My opinions are merely my own. My facts are taken from the Regeneration Office website.

    I have nothing more to say on this subject/this thread.

    I would consider anything greater then 50% to more, most, greater what ever you want it spelt to you.

    I didn't say his comments were stupid.. I said it was "dumb"...

    Yes I know they are bertys comments, and my comment was about them...

    My reason, as someone else with a higher intelligence than yours has already pointed out is regarding the statement about what is most.........jezzzzzzzzz your hard work.......

    So you're agreeing with my viewpoint that 75% is most then :confused:

    And the difference is?? You're being slightly pedantic there.

    Yes we've established that.

    And you're even harder work! You've still given no explanation as to why you think his comments are 'dumb'. The whole point of these boards is the expression of opinions and the backing up of them. You've expressed an opinion but not backed it up. Or is that too hard for you to grasp?

    i'm still awaiting your explanation. You cant slag off someone elses posts, calling them contenders for Darwin awards, and then not back up your condemnation with a reason. Articulate yourself.

    first off st.marys park is in limericks oldest and most famous part of the city,the local council have been trying for years to exploit this part of the city the shannon river runs past it you can view the castle from your front door the treaty stone ,thomand bridge , the cathedral were the kings of munster ruled from and the vicking city are all next door, town is a 5minute walk away , fact is they dont care about the people of st marys park any one that has bothered to view the regeneration plans can see this its all just a long term plan to generate tourism. i mean were in ireland is there so much history in one spot, nowere the only catch is most of the people down there own the houses but it is still a council estate get rid of the rental tenents and force the rest out,, remember what happened when tomand park was being built and its all been done under the white flag of regeneration
