The Regeneration Debate on Newstalk with George Hook, Brendan Hayden and John Gilligan. While it was great to hear Councilor John Gilligan of the Regeneration Committee St. Mary's Park on newstalk on Thursday 12th of January. He was talking to his second in command of the Regeneration Brendan Hayden. These people did not represent the views of the people of Moyross said Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA. Mr. Brendan Kenny went on national radio and said all the good people are gone out of Regeneration areas, then he went back on it and said he did not mean that then he puts Mr. Hayden on national radio, another man who insulted the people of the regeneration areas of limerick Mr. Hayden the people who are representing residents in these areas by calling them ''Factions''' which in saying that he should be ashamed of himself. These people are working hard to make regeneration work, by writing letters to TD's and also working with Limerick City Council hand in hand to make the Regeneration project work. The hard facts about the agency is that they did not know what they were doing. We are nearly 5 years down the line now and there was not one house built. What happened the Fitzgerald Report and the Master plan in which they said you will see your new house being built and all you had to do was carry your cases across the road. As far as the people of Moyross are concerned the only thing that was built was the Delmege Park Community Garden in which that was built and funded by the people of Moyross. It cost a lot of money and Mr. Kenny did not contribute one brass cent. But a big question mark lies over Mr. Kenny and his committee, Where in the honor of god did the 116 Million go? The school in Moyross has gone way down in its pupils, half of the people are gone and the jobs promised for the locals where never materialized. As for the debate on the radio today between these two committee members there was no mention of any jobs. How in the honor of god could this work. All we are being fed is lies the whole time Regeneration Agency is around. We hope this changes when the new committee is formed. Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA and Martin O Halloran Vice Chairperson of the MRA.

Yesterday chief executive of the Regeneration Agency Brendan Kenny said ''it is essential that the momentum of the work is kept going'' its a pity he didn't say that and start the work 3 years ago, he had the money and he still built on a green area so why in the honor of god did he wait so long. We the people of the regeneration areas hope to god that whoever takes the reigns when Mr. Kenny and his Dublin clique is finished that they look after the people properly and go as best they can with the Master Plan and the Fitzgerald Report and listen to the people of the regeneration areas, they are the people that has suffered through this regeneration committee. We asked Mr. Kenny years ago about his depopulation process and now he goes on the local paper and says that he hopes the people does not leave the areas. Too little too late. We the people of the regeneration have faith in our own councils and we know that they can form a powerful committee across Limerick and look after peoples needs in Limerick and the MRA and Limerick Regeneration Association are going to work hand in hand with the councils and whoever is involved in getting this regeneration process kept going strong. Vice Chairperson of MRA Martin O Halloran.

Due to demolition of houses at the end of December 2011, four houses in good condition were demolished in Delmege Park numbers 141 to 145. Two of these houses had brand new central heating installed only a few months prior to this demolition also insulation of the walls was done at the same time. About 18 months prior to this all these four mentioned houses had all windows and doors replaced with brand new double glazing. How in the honor of god can Regeneration justify this. There was no effort made to salvage these very expensive fittings. A complete waste of money. Whoever was in charge at the top for all these demolitions in Moyross and other areas should be held accountable for a waste of the tax payers money at a time when the country is suffering severe austerity budgets. This has come to light to the MRA and had to outline these issues to publicize the scandalous waste in a bankrupt country said Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA.

Health And Safety Issues with Clancy Builders in Moyross. There was a big truck pouring concrete on top of the new buildings in Cliona Park and when they were finished pouring the concrete the arm of the truck was overhead the main road and concrete was falling from the swinging tube and landing on the road. It was lucky that there was no cars coming either way because if the concrete landed on the windscreen it would have blocked the drivers vision and may have caused a serious accident and also there are big sewage tubes laying against the fencing which is not stable on the main road. Of course it wouldnt have happened anywhere else like Caherdavin, Castletroy or Corbally this would not have been tollerated of course the people of Moyross has to endure all these hardships and health and safety issues.
Martin O Halloran is unendated with phone calls about health and safety issues. We hope Clancy Builders see common sense and rectify these issues immedietly, this is not the first time we have had health and safety issues with Clancy's said Martin O Halloran, Vice Chairperson of the MRA.

Tom Daly, Chairperson of the MRA was unendated with calls and messages about Mr. Frank Predergast's book ''The Story So Far''. Number 1 its like a fiction book, it left out a lot of stuff eg. sports events, soccer events, rugby events plus individual people from the sporting criterias who all came from Moyross. Fr. Frank O Dea has not got a clue what is happening in Moyross if this is his attitude in this book. The people of Moyross are outraged that certain events which happened in Moyross for the good of the people and certain individuals that help Moyross shake off the stigma attached to it and it certainly was not Fr. O Dea or Mr Prendergast that done that it was the people themselves. Here are many events going back through the years that were done by the people of Moyross, Stars In The Hood, Monks V Gardai, The Limerick Toy Show, The St. Francis Community Garden Delmege Park, First Internationally Known artist to perform in Moyross free of charge to the people was Aggro Santos, X-Factor Stars brought to Moyross and met with the people of Moyross and stayed to take pictures with them. Also many other events were done by the people of Moyross including The Cancer Research Benefit nights, Special Olympics Fundraising, Crumlin Childrens Hospital Fundraising, Share A Dream Benefits, Limerick Youth Service and many many more were helped by the people of Moyross. So where is the story so far now, Not one of these events or sporting hero's where mentioned. So the story so far as told in the book is lies because it did not portray the real Moyross and the real people of Moyross. This was a book that was put together in bits and pieces, photographs taken and put things in the book that certain people wanted to hear and never put in the truth about what was going on in Moyross and the way that the residents of Moyross had to combat the issues themselves. They also said in the book about certain people gave Moyross, St. Marys Park and Weston bad names. But what about the people who put the individuals there? What about the people depopulating the schools of these areas. We will have no schools or community some day as they will all be gone said Tom Daly Chairperson of the MRA.
So the story so far is a million miles away from the truth.
The Moyross Residents Alliance and the Committee of the Limerick Toy Show wish all the people of Moyross, South Hill, St. Marys Park, Weston and all other area's of Limerick for their overwhelming support and helping the misfortunate in Limerick and the other charities. We wish you a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
THE TRUTH WILL BE PRINTED IN 2012.
