Peoples Republic of Limerick

This makes seems to make sense to me, develop limerick as the second city of Ireland. There's too many people in dublin now, mostly fordiners from beyond the pale.

While we're at it we could force TCD to up sticks and move to the treaty city rather than blocking up the whole of dublin city centre like some urban blood clot. This could work people, this could just work

Fat f**king chance of that.

They won't even build a decent road to connect Limerick, Cork, and Galway.

Sounds good. I'm in. You do all the stuff, i'll do the other things.

Cork would be a more natural choice.It has a deep sea port and motorway and rail links to the capital.

They can't be trusted though.


Limerick has shannon airport and Foynes port for the resurgence of flying boats that I confidently predict

If they did invest in limerick, it would be fantastic.
I know I would end up coming back to live in limerick if they did.

Make limerick into a Dublin lite where there is actually stuff to do and it would be a great place to be.


I don't understand why you wouldn't want it to be the 'guinea pig'.
Have you seen how many shut down shops there is, or are you happy to keep limerick the way it is.

Limerick could become a centre of excellence for the copper industry too

Cork is the people's republic, get your own bloody catchphrase.

Dyr

People Republic of Limerick (& Environs) spells PROL(E) though, that's better than the langers catchphrase

Yuck. Imagine the tourism ads.
See piebalds in their natural environment.
Continue the party in the mid west regional, the locals will be sure to have you in stitches.

Because Dublin is so saintly?

Dublin is far far worse than anything limerick has to offer.

Limerick should be the second city. Bulldoze Dublin and turn it into a landfill (it already looks and smells like one so not much work needed.) Make Cork the capital of the new Dub-free Ireland and Limerick the second city. Should work well.

Make Castlepollard and Fore the new capitals of Ireland :cool:

the cork floodplain project is too far advanced now for that. We should have it below a foot of water by 2021

city?

I've stayed in the Savoy a few times and wandered up and down to the Locke Bar, but I've not been to Limerick "City" yet. Is it close by?

If we could so the same for Dublin it might actually be clean for once.

The fresh river air and beautiful environs must have caused short term memory loss.

Limerick is alright.

But if you want a counterbalance to Dublin then Galway and Ennis would have to be included to make a meaningful corridor.

Trinity's location is actually excellent both from a Dublin and Trinity perspective.

Limerick lost out so much by UL being 3 miles away from the centre. A loss for both.

About fifteen miles out the Ballysimon road. You're looking for Mick-Oliver's bar in Clashbane. Tell them the Goose sent you - they'll show you where we keep the real city-centre.

Ah in fairness it's not much worse than UCC, relative to Cork city-centre. And Plassey Park is a good place for it, with Castletroy being a pleasant area generally.

Jim - we are talking 1km v 4km there from the respective college gates to the respective principle street.

I grant you Plassey, in itself, is a fine campus but there is a mutual loss (culturally, economically, and socially) in its detachment from Limerick's centre.

Makes sod-all difference - none of the gowl students are going to walk it anyway!

The proposal makes eminent sense. Limerick is strategically located with an international airport on its doorstep as well as a deep water port. It is also within easy reach of all the other major cities in Ireland.

Add to that a lot of city center property which currently sits idle and could be utilised for high rise and you have a sound business proposal. That's not to mention three third level institutions which could be tapped for talent as well as research and other associated link ups.

Argh. Limerick will be part of "Greater Dublin" before it's the 2nd city if we're not careful. Messy housing estates and Spar shops will wriggle their way across the country and engulf you.
