McAleese to launch regeneration projects in Limerick

President Mary McAleese is due in Limerick today to officially launch two major regeneration projects.

Under the plans, 2,000 homes will be demolished in the Moyross, Southill and Ballincurra Weston areas.

Moyross will be completely rebuilt with a new town centre, while new neighbourhood centres will be built in Southill and Ballincurra Weston.

The project was announced on foot of a government-commissioned report into how to tackle major criminal and economic problems in the three areas.

you know what's going to happen to the existing residents, whether they're to be relocated elsewhere, or rehoused in the same area? (there is a discernable trend, in regeneration projects, (though more in the UK from what very little I know) to replace inner-city tenements with fancy apartment blocks, and to relocate residents to the 'burbs).
