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.

Due to a meeting last Monday night in a undisclosed place, there was a meeting called by Fr. Pat Hogan to form a Regeneration Committee and to meet with Mr. O Loughlin the new CEO of the Regeneration of the Limerick Estates. The Moyross Residents Alliance find this very disappointing as they did not engage with the residents and invite the residents and make this a public meeting as this committee some of these people were on the last board for 5 years and nothing materialized just money wasted, our infrastructures broken up and they have the cheek to do this behind peoples back and try jump on the gravy train again. It is not on said Tom Daly Chairperson of the Moyross Residents Alliance. We are calling for elections from within all the different areas for local residents to be on a committee that indulge with the council and the new committee of the Regeneration. This is the only way the Regeneration process can be brought forward. It has to be with the residents involved because we are the people on the ground in these areas and we know what the people want, to make our areas a better and safer place to live.

Vice Chairperson of the MRA would like to send a special thanks to Jamie Daly on the very very hard work himself and his committee are doing with the Monks Vs Munster Sporting Hero's. It is unbelievable the amount of travelling that Jamie and his committee have done in going to Dublin, Cork and Kerry and England Meeting people to try and raise funds for this event to promote suicide awareness. It is amazing the response and phone calls that the MRA are getting from people and local businesses thanking James and his committee for the time that they are putting into it. We hope to see you all on the 20th of May in Shelbourne Park is the message i got from James Daly to give to the people of Limerick. Martin O Halloran Vice Chairperson MRA.

A big congratulations to the Moyross A team who won their league again. This we have to say is fair play to the management who has somehow managed to bring this team to win the leagues 5 years in a row which was never done before. This is down the hard work of the management committee and the hard training the lads put in. Again it goes to show the great spirit that is in the people of Moyross. We would also like to congratulate the B team who won their league also. We hope the new regeneration committee come on board with the management of both teams and help them out with some funding. We would also like local businesses to get on board as all these lads has proved themselves over and over again. Vice Chairperson of MRA Martin O Halloran.

The Moyross Residents Alliance and the residents of Moyross would like to thank all the people who donated to help us buy the statue of our lady and a special thanks to Willie Ryan of Ryan's Locksmiths in William Street who gave a big donation towards the statue. It is great to see the people of Limerick getting involved and helping the people of these regeneration areas. Its a pity that the Regeneration didn't take a page out of their book and look after the people properly in these areas. Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA.
