Due to a very brief meeting between Chairperson Tom Daly and Oliver O’Loughlin in Limerick City Council offices also representative of the BWRA Matt Collins, Cathal McCarthy of Weston Gardens Association and Dave McNamara of the MRA and Steven Corbit of the BWRA, Mr. Daly was not impressed with the attitude of Mr. O’Loughlin he turned around and said there is only one way forward and that was with his local forums in the regeneration areas. There is no body that recognizes these forums in these areas. The last meeting of the forum in Delmege Park only one person went and he was a MRA Resident which went up to see could he get any information on what was happening and was told absolutely nothing, so how in the honor of God can Mr O’Loughlin turn around and ask us to join forums that does not represent us and our community views. The MRA has done more things for Moyross and Limerick than regeneration and the council has done in over 5 years, they have wasted millions, god only knows where the money has went so we say to Mr O’Loughlin if he wants to sit down and talk to the MRA committee they will meet him and discuss the issues of the residents in Moyross. You also now have no anti-social behavior offices in Limerick City Council which is a disgrace said Mr. Daly as Anti-Social is on the up again. Two or Three residents only said last week that they reported issues to the council of anti-social and nothing was done about it. They said that they are looking for applicants to apply for the job. We did not see any applications in the paper supporting this said Mr. Daly. So Mr. Daly says to Mr O’Loughlin you said at the meeting that you are better off being inside the tent urinating out than outside urinating in. I am saying this in a polite manner but Mr O’Loughlin said it in a different way which we found very disturbing.

The Moyross Residents Alliance would like to thank all the people who text for them in tidy towns. We got over 50 % of the vote which was brilliant. We would also like to thank all of the locals who are cleaning and painting their area's not only in Delmege Park but all over Moyross. The MRA will be continuing their clean up of Delmege this week although their funds are very limited as we are an alliance that funds ourselves in which you can see in the beautiful garden we have built. We have put 16 thousand euro into our memorial garden in Delmege Park. We got no help from no one in the building of our lovely garden and it shows what can be done in other areas just like in Delmege. So if you are living in regeneration area's and there is a gap next to your home, write to the council and try explain to them that you have a plan and what you want to do and the council might come on board and give you permission because we are delighted in what we have accomplished. We would like to thank Frank Ryan and sons, Sandra Bennett and family for the support in having our memorial garden next door to them. Also all of the people who put in the hard work and are still to this day doing hard work, it is great. Of course you have people going around saying we got this grant and that grant but we can assure you that the MRA never got a penny from no one. Not from Limerick City Council nor Regeneration it was all the effort of the MRA and the people involved. The MRA was formed to help people through and uphold their rights through the regeneration process for the last 5 years and I have to say it was brilliant work that was done. We done documentaries and got M.E.P's involved, T.D's involved also to fight for peoples rights tenants and home owners through the regeneration which as a failure it was more like degeneration a type of ethnic cleansing. So I say to the people of Moyross, Keep up the good work as you can all be proud of your area's. The spirit in our community is still very strong in moyross.
We would like to say a big thank you to Cindy Fogarty and Cathal McCarthy for the painting of the murals in weston and south hill and other area's and she is also painting a sacret heart statue in Delmege Park Memorial Garden. This can not go and be forgotten as this woman has put in endless hours. So Keep up the good work Cindy from the Moyross Residents Alliance.
Chairperson Tom Daly.

The Moyross Residents Alliance would like to thank Gary Daly and Edward Hughes for the very hard work they done on the Community Garden in Delmege Park. When the weather was against us rain and wind, they had to dig up all the center pathways and re do them with concrete and stone, they also put a new floor in the green house. We would also like to thank other members of the MRA for their input and work into this garden. This garden has cost a lot of money and it has been soely sponsored by the MRA to show people what can be done in their area's if they take ownership of these gardens in their area's and look after them. It brings communities together as many people came to our garden and learned from it. This is why the people are proud of our community garden in Delmege. We would like to also thank the people of Moyross who came down to Delmege and gave a hand in the garden, we could go on forever thanking people as the help we got was enormous. So we say to the people in other area's If we can do it, you can do it.
There are some pictures below of the ongoing work that has gone on in the last six weeks. We would like to ask the people of Moyross to come out and vote for the Delmege park community garden as it was the first garden to be built by the people of moyross and it also is a memorial garden to two young lads. We would appreciate your vote in the going for gold. So don't forget when the voting starts get on your phone and start texting. We will release the text numbers in due course.
Chairperson of the MRA Tom Daly.
