The MRA Committee have constantly campaigned meeting counselors and TD's on the proposal of the new road even when all of our counselors were not behind it yet to our surprise it has come to our attention that a certain forum have taken it upon themselves to take credit for such growth in our community which we have backed and pushed all along. To be precise last year chairperson Tommy Daly and the committee attended the welcoming of Simon Covney and Mr. Daly happened to be the only one that brought up the plans for the road and Mr. Covney was respectful enough to entertain and give explanation to the question and said he would follow it up immediately, not only that if you look at our articles on this site Mr. Daly also appeared on TV3 to speak about the road 2 years ago. Now that results are showing we find that said forum are claiming they have been working with the regeneration for years to ensure this plan went through yet the MRA were the only ones to address this at the meeting with Mr. Covney. Since we have been so passionate and outspoken on our site, and social media outlets of how we need this to go ahead , attending meetings and using our voice common sense tells us that this so called forum working together with the regeneration DID NOT HAPPEN. Surely if it did you would want your audience and communities that have showed interest in such proposals would be the first to be clued in you did not support it then so don't pretend to support it now that things are going the right way! Let's stop playing both sides and start to actually communicate and involve your apparent communities it's about people ego's its about the people , OUR PEOPLE!
MRA Committee attend Limerick FC press night.

Tommy Daly , Councellor Frankie Daly , And John McMahon attended the Limerick FC press night representing Moyross.
There was about 50 people at said event at the savoy hotel.
Kieran Judge covered a great plan for the club in dept with the help of his staff big things could be coming in the future if they get the backing they need.
We could not believe that there were no other company representatives at the meeting.
Especially considering Limerick FC is a well-known club for many years and has done Limerick proud for as long as we can remember, Chairman Pat O'Sullivan has carried this club along way and now he needs the support from the local companies , From the start he has funded this club alone and now he needs the financial support that other clubs seem to get.
From our point of view we can not make sense of the fact that the City/County Council can turn a blind eye now when they are the main sponsors for alot of clubs and events ran around limerick. If Limerick FC is lost we lose apart of our culture , on top of losing our best players , and they lose their spirit.
Even our local radio station did not cover this monumental event for a very serious matter which we found very strange considering Limerick FC support this radio station so where is the support in return?
We're asking everyone out there to support our club and contact Pat O'Sullivan or Kieran judge if you want to get involved or need any more information!
Damage to our garden in delmege park

Unfortunately due to the beast from the east , There was alot of damage done to our community garden , after some ongoing hard work and time we have replaced our windows and panels in the garden , and replaced the grotto out of our own pocket once again with no help from our so called county council.
Special thanks to Brendy Daly and Pat Haplin for helping us out at this time and the rest of the committee.
As the spring/summer is approaching we will be starting our vegetable patch in the greenhouse with the help of all our kids in the community. We would also like to point out that anyone that would like to plant or visit the garden the gate will always be open for you just call down to us! This is a special place we have always wanted to share with everyone so don't hesitate.
We have some exciting events coming up also so keep your eyes peeled on the website!

Distributor Road Updates Part 2

As an update to the progress of the distributor road we're delighted to see the construction moving forward, It will make life alot easier for the people in the Moyross area and those in the cul de sac as the city is more accessible to them. Mr Thomas Daly approached minister Simon Covney about this plan at the unveiling of the funding for the Moyross Community Center with the community by his side as it was something that we needed to push, You can also see on one of our previous articles that Mr. Thomas Daly also brought it to the attention of TV3 , Even when 23 counselors voted against it the Moyross Residence Alliance stood firm with 3 other counselors because we know what this community needs to evolve and progress , This was a necessary action for us to take to open up a so called disadvantaged area to the city/county. We hope to see more of these projects going forward to better the community and development of the Moyross area.

We would like to take this moment to express how overwhelmed and sad we are at the passing of the great Frank Ryan this week who was like family to us.
Frank you were one in a million and touched everyone with your kind soul and warm heart everyone in Moyross has a story to tell with you as you were a gentleman to all. Everyone in Delmege and surrounding areas are thinking of the Ryan family and wish them happiness and support through this hard time. Frank, we are privileged to have spent so many great years with you and want to says thanks for the memories, laughs and friendship may you rest in peace.
We thought of you today ,
But that is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that too,
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
All we have now are memories,
And your picture in a frame,
The memory of you is a keepsake,
From which we'll never part,
God has you in his arms,
But we'll keep you in our hearts ♥
Garden of remembrance celebration gathering for Christmas!

We had a lovely day filled with laughter and joy within the community on Saturday the 16th of December with our kids and surrounding families to enjoy a prayer ceremony carried out by the San Franciscan friars who we would like to thank for being apart of these special occasions for us . All of the children loved decorating the tree and working together to give the garden the christmas spirit that we all need this time of year , It's important to remember that Christmas isn't about whats under the tree its who's around it so lets all be appreciate of what we have and empathetic to those that don't. The Garden of Remembrance has and always will be open to EVERYBODY from any areas to enjoy a prayer or just some thinking time. All our hardwork and efforts goes into making our garden an escape for people to have their own time out whether its a busy schedule or an overthinking mind. We hope to continue to better and grow this project as the years go on, This was built from the ground up with our own money, time , and love so please nobody be under the illusion that we receive funding from the council as it is a blatant lie carried by begrudgers , This is what we are fighting for as the help would do us so much good but they have not wanted to be apart of it , But we won't let that stop us from doing something that we believe in.
On an ending note we here at the Moyross Residence Alliance would like to say may the blessing of god be with you & your families this Christmas and here's to a great New Year!
Residents being discriminated against in Sarsfield Gardens

The residents of number 14 & 15 of Sarsfield Gardens , Moyross . We personally can't believe the way they were discriminated against
Every other house on their block has been refurbished and these two individuals have been left out.
One of said residents contacted Shane Doherty of Northside Regeneration and asked why their family homes were dismissed for the improvements made to the area.
Mr. Doherty said "I will have a look into it, But nothing can be done till next year although I will be in contact with you"
This is blamant discrimation towards two families who have the same rights as everybody else in their neighbourhood.
We will be contacting Mr. Shane Doherty directly about this and hope he sees the error in his ways.
On a brighter note , We would like to extend thanks to the John the foreman and his team of the Mulcare Group for the brilliant work they have been doing to the footpaths and sewerage in Delmege park , Here are photos to follow!
We have to address that four or five companies tried to address this issue and could not fix said error which were still paid for the job , Its great to know they've gotten the experts in!
