Brian Leddin (GP), Limerick City

I appeal to the background of the Tánaiste as a historian with this suggestion from my home city of Limerick. As a Corkman I do not expect them to know the detail of Limerick as I would do. The medieval spine of Limerick goes from King John's Castle all the way up to St. John's Hospital. That takes in Nicholas Street, Mary Street, Broad Street and John Street. Limerick city was formed around this medieval spine and, unfortunately, it is in a very poor state. Some good work has been done by the council with respect to Nicholas Street, but the whole length of this, which is about a mile long, right up to St John's Hospital, can and should be refurbished and renovated, and there should be investment in the public realm. There is a great opportunity with the urban regeneration and development fund to look at that spine and I would like the Tánaiste to look at it and, ultimately, to give it his support.
