One of the key themes within the City Centre Strategy is to provide <strong>for</strong> the regeneration of derelict<br />
<strong>and</strong> underutilised sites within the City Centre, especially those near the existing retail core. The City<br />
Centre Strategy has been given a statutory function through the City Development <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
Regeneration<br />
Social deprivation, as well as an acknowledged failure of delivery of state services within the City,<br />
gave rise to the creation of the <strong>Limerick</strong> Northside <strong>and</strong> Southside Regeneration Agencies, which<br />
were established by the government in 2007. These agencies were charged with regeneration of a<br />
number of areas including Moyross <strong>and</strong> St. Marys on the Northside <strong>and</strong> Southill <strong>and</strong> Ballincurra on the<br />
Southside. These agencies were charged with the physical, social, economic, community <strong>and</strong><br />
housing regeneration of these areas.<br />
In 2012 Regeneration came under the responsibility of the merging <strong>Limerick</strong> City & County Councils,<br />
under the Home & Community Directorate. A significant monetary budget is allocated to address<br />
the objectives of Regeneration.<br />
