The Northern Distributor road is now being backed by various well-known companies such as Johnson and Johnson and Northern Trust. They are also able to outline the great advantages the new road will bring both to Limerick and Clare. Our local Councillors need to vote with us and not against us, to help An Board Pleanala make the right decision in going ahead with the road. Rejection of the project would be a major setback for both business and the public. The new road will allow job creation and easier access to UL bringing much needed business and tourism to the city, As well as enticing other large companies to relocate here. After all there was only 3 Councillors that voted for this road, Councillor Daly, Councillor Leddin, and Councillor Gilligan. The general public take their hats off to these Councillors for there’s votes in supporting the road, having the future of limerick and county Clare in mind. After all you have to admire Clare, as they voted for it, the only thing holding us back is An Board Pleanala and Limerick City Council. Limerick regeneration watch chairperson, Cathall McCarthy and Tom Daly were at meetings Almost a decade ago now about this road, where John Fitzgerald said this road was vital for limerick and the progression of the city. He also said that the north distributor road would put an end to the cul-de-sac in Moyross which was facilitating the anti-social behaviour. Due to the fact the Garda access is limited to 1 way in and the same way out. When making the decision about this road An Board Pleanala need to take into consideration the beneficial factors this road would bring to the city now and also for future generations to come. This is our submission from the limerick regeneration watch and the Moyross residence alliance
