The Government has committed to providing the LDA with equity capital of up to €8.75 billion to facilitate large scale delivery of housing. Our core objectives are to: • Coordinate appropriate State lands throughout the country for regeneration and development, opening up key sites for housing delivery. • Driving strategic land assembly, working with both public and private sector land owners; • Contributing towards the delivery of affordable housing; and • Become a leading influencer of housing and land management, through research and innovation. ------------ DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKS------------ The site is located in the Limerick Docklands area, southwest of the city centre.

Remediation and monitoring is now complete and the site is ready for residential development. The 1.26-hectare site slopes approximately three meters from its southern boundary down to its northern boundary of the Dock Road.
