It has come to the attention of the MRA that one of the engineers over the demolition in the regeneration areas of Limerick is going on 5 weeks holidays. What a time he picks to go when there is a load of houses to be demolished in both north and south sides of the city. Now he will be gone for 5 weeks and come back and try catch up with paper work which will take another 2 weeks then you are into the summer holidays. So the people of Limerick will have to wait 9 to 10 weeks for the demolition of these eye soars which the regeneration and the Limerick City Council left. This is a disgrace said Tom Daly, Chairperson of the MRA. It is just unbeleivable what they can do. The MRA will be writing to the department of environment about this and we will be also writing to the E.U. This is going against all thats in the Fitzgearald report. Instead of doing the right thing they have demolishers doing nothing, why dont they get them in immedietly to knock these house instead of having people putting up with anti-social behaviour which is wasting the Gardai's time as they are busy enough as it is. Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA.

On the 20th of May 2012 we had the Monks Vs Munster Sporting Hero's in Shelbourne Park Limerick which was a big success. There was upwards of 2000 people who attended and this was good to see and open peoples eyes for suicide awareness and try help people that are feeling down and depressed that they can go to these centres like pieta house and get help. We would like to take our hat off to Jamie Daly and his committee for getting this event off of the ground which was an awful lot of hard work. The MRA was unendated with phone calls thanking Jamie for such an event and also thanking Limerick Fc and Pat O Sullivan for all the support and also anyone that donated to the cause and also and big thanks to Paddy Hartnett and Mick O Driscoll, John Delaney, Pat Short, Paul Mc Grath, Tony Cascarino, Teddy Sheringham and also all of the people in Cork who tried to open peoples eyes to try to stop this high rate of suicide. We would also like to congratulate the winners of the game The Munster Sporting Hero's in which it was a very highly intense game and of course not forgetting the monks who played a great game. Tom Daly, Chairperson of MRA.

The MRA Moyross Residents Alliance were a part of a delegation on Tuesday the 15th of May 2012 in the Liberty buildings in Dublin which involved all of the communities in Ireland who is under the regeneration remit. It was unbelievable the stories that the people told after 17 years of regeneration. The conditions they were left in, infrastructures broken up, school population again halved, people displaced and not knowing what was coming next, it was a disgrace. Now we find this very disturbing said Martin as we are 5 years into regeneration and the same thing has happened to us, that is why we are working with CAN to get a petition through to the E.U and let them know what is happening to the people of these areas. Down here in Limerick they are all at logger head with each other on the regeneration board. They do not know what they are doing, they have wasted 116 million and nothing to show for it and they are actually going on local and national press admitting they are wrong, even Jan O Sullivan our Minister have admitted that the regeneration board are at logger heads and Brendan Kenny has admitted it. If you come out to parts of Moyross you can see the infrastructure is all broken up. Its a disgrace said Martin we hope to god that when this new committee is formed that they will go into direct dialogue with the MRA, The BWGRA and get things right this time and get local elections and get people voted in, in the areas like Moyross, South Hill, Weston and St. Marys Park. This was a big success in Dublin because there were half of the local people on the boards and they can bring an awful lot to the table. Vice chairperson, Martin O Halloran.
