Members of the MRA and the Delmege Park Community Garden committee putting new pathways down in their lovely garden. This community garden is built by the people of Delmege Park and all of the upkeep is paid for by the Moyross Residents Alliance. The Delmege Park Committee would like to thank the following, Frank Ryan who is paying the light bills in the garden and we would be lost without him as he is bearly surviving himself. Also Franks family who give a great hand in the garden expecially Peter. Also Dave Mc Namara and Angela Mc Namara who looks after the sewing of the flowers and more. Also Tom Daly and his familly and Martin O Halloran and Edward Hughes. The people of Delmge Park are very proud of this garden and it is a memorial garden aswel. We have a lovely new statue of Our Lady in which there will be a blessing in the Garden in August. We will update you on dates as we have them. We were promised funding last year to help pay for the running of the garden by Mr. Kenny but never materialize but we were used to that from Mr. Kenny saying one thing and meaning another.
This garden is a garden of hope. It was the first garden to be built in memory of two lads who lost their lives so tragically and when you go into the garden there is just peace and traquillity in there. The kids love going in feeding the ducks and watering the flowers. So it is gonna be a big struggle for the people of Delmege going through hard times but with the help of god we will come through stronger with the help of the people of Delmege Park.
Chairperson of the MRA Tom Daly.

Members of the Moyross Residents Alliance donating a cheque to Brother Sean of the Franciscan Friars and they hope it will help them pay some of the costs towards helping the kids through the summer camp which is brilliant for the kids. We would like to thank all of the Monks and volunteers and a big thanks to Brother Thomas who put in a awful amount of work into this years summer camp. We also hope that other people and businesses will donate and try to help them as they could do with it. The MRA sent an email to Oliver o Loughlin The new CEO of Regeneration and begged him not to follow in the same footsteps as Mr. Kenny and try to donate something as this comes under social regeneration. There is no one else doing this kind of work so we hope the new CEO comes on board and helps these people.

illegal Rubish Dumping in Delmege Park

It has come to the attention of the MRA Chairperson Tom Daly that the house hold dumping in Delmege Park is out of control. No wonder there is rat infestation in Delmege Park. There is a field across from 2 boarded houses in Delmege Park and over the ditch there is mounds of rubbish dumped. There are rats as big as cats there and one resident caught a rat in a cage and can be seen on our website mralimerick.com. So why in the honor of god are the council not doing something about this. They got complaints about it because 2 residents already reported it. This is disgraceful said Mr. Daly but again i say it would only happen in Delmege Park. Again as we said before its is like Moyross stops at the Community Center, it has been proved again and again. The people of Delmege, Pineview and Creaval Park are forgotten about as the community stops at the community center. We have an ongoing petition that is going over to the E.U and we are going to carry years of evidence with us on what is happening in Moyross by demoralizing us and forcing good people out of their homes.

Demolition of a Derlict House

The MRA would like to thank Connor O Donoughe for working with the MRA in getting his house number 8 Delmege Park Demolished. The house was in a bad state and was a danger to the kids and if it was not demolished there would have been someone maimed or worse killed. The MRA chairperson Tom Daly had been campaigning for 2 years to have this house demolished and we have to say a very big thank you to Connor O Donoughe and the Staff of Limerick City Council in having this premises demolished. The people are delighted in Delmege Park, there is now no more anti-social and people do not have to worry about the fire brigade being called out at all hours of the night to get the fire in the house quenched. Also big thanks to the Irish Examiner and their reporter Dave Young for his story on the paper and highlighting the issue about the house and the shop in Delmege Park. It is great to have the national media involved as they are the only people who listen to the real truth and what is happening to the people in the regeneration area's.

As we know the Friars in Moyross have their summer camp coming up, now these people do not get any money from no one, they do this out of their own pockets and the people that are involved with them such as the volunteers. Now Mr. Daly in a meeting with Mr. Kenny last year where Mr. Kenny promised he would give One Thousand Euro the Monks to help them with expenses for the couple of weeks. They made them fill out all of the application forms in which Brother Thomas done and handed them in to Mr. Kenny but the money never materialized which was a disgrace said Mr. Daly. Mr. Kenny didn't have the decency to write back to them. We find this is not doing our community any good as this comes under social regeneration. It is getting the kids off of the road for the 14 days and getting them involved in Events such as Mountain Climbing, Camping etc. Why in the honor of god are they not helping these people. The MRA is a self efficient alliance which was put in by the people and we can donate and help them with the expenses. We hope to god the new CEO of regeneration Oliver Loughlin will help these people as we are in very hard times and they are finding it hard to cope also.

Members of the MRA cleaning up the square and cutting the lawns in Delmege Park and keeping the place tidy as we always do. We also look after our garden. There are some photos here of Angela and David Mc Namara planting flowers as we put in new flower beds and also Jade Daly watering the flowers and kids playing in the garden on the swing. This is what regeneration should be about, Community Participation and getting involved. The Delmege Park Community Garden is a garden built by the people, we put all of our own money into it. The Moyross Community Centre Garden has nothing to do with our garden and do not represent any of our issues down here. Moyross seems to stop at the Community Centre anyway, they forget about the rest of the people beyond that point.

Thank you very much Mr. Kenny. You left the people of Delmege Park a great hobby before you left, Catching Rats!. Which now are nesting in the boarded up houses of Delmege Park and also Limerick City Council and their demolishers left the foundations of 3 bungalows in Delmege Park in which is Rat Infested. This is a disgrace said Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA. Tom is unendated with calls from people ringing him up complaining about the rats. You can actually see the rats coming up from the foundations at night. This can not be tolerated. You can actually walk along the footpaths that are supposed to be taken up and also the foundations of the house. The skimmed the foundations with a bit of dirt and left it at that. It would only happen in our community of Moyross but all of this is being documented. There are photos being taken and sent over to the E.U because we are not going put up with this. We want all of the foundations taken up and done properly. It is only a matter of time before a child falls and injures his or her arms, legs or worse. We wonder who will take responsibility for that, this is why the MRA is highlighting these issues as this is blatantly breaking health and safety rules. Lets see common sense prevail and get this situation sorted out.
Pictured below is one of the many Rats caught in our traps and the foundations left by demolishers where the rats are.
