    Construction work on the Hanging Gardens complex on Henry St could restart before the end of the year http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/business/business-news/hanging-gardens-site-sale-nearly-signed-in-limerick-1-5955042

    It would be great if this happens. It would be a great signal that Limerick is on it's way back.
    I'm not sure now which is the April Fools article, I thought it was the 5 Mayors one but...

    Why? It's part of the 2030 plan and the council purchased it from NAMA. There is a need for office space in the city and this can be finished relatively quickly.

    It's not part of the 2030 plan, as far as I recall.

    Obviously, it would be great if it was finished off though.

      Work on Colbert Station is to commence this month.
      The council has received received seven serious expressions of interest in developing the Opera Center site.
      An announcement on the plans for Ardmore Studios to lease the former Dell building in Plassey is due in three weeks.

    Any update on the Ardmore plans?

    I could only find their CEO saying:
    'I am as surprised as all you are with what I am reading in the papers. I haven't commented in any of the papers.
    'Talks have taken place but we haven't agreed anything, and even if we did, it will not affect anything in Wicklow.'

    Does this mean the whole Ardmore thing is pie in the sky?The works on the station were meant to start last month-still hasn't happened.It doesn't really seem anything construction wise has started-just a few nice plans.

    The local reports never stated that the Wicklow studio would be closing so I don't know where that came from. And she does say that negotiations have taken place with the council, so it's not all pie in the sky.
    Also I notice that the article is dated 13th June, and the Leader article I posted from 12th June stated "An announcement on the plans for Ardmore Studios to lease the former Dell building in Plassey is due in three weeks", which is around now.

    I tweeted Irish Rail in May and they said "Commencement was subject to funding, which is now expected early Q3". If funding is only due around now, it'll be a while longer before it starts.
    Also these works have nothing to do with the council so non movement in other plans doesn't mean non movement here.
