SINN Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan has sought assurances from the Taoiseach that funding for the Economic and Social Intervention Fund (ESIF) will continue.
The Deputy wanted clarity on whether the ESIF of the Limerick Regeneration Framework Implementation Plan will continue into 2024 and beyond.
The ESIF has financially supported 180 social, economic, and community development projects across Limerick and in particular its four regeneration areas.
Addressing the Taoiseach in the Dáil, Quinlivan stated: “Whilst the Limerick Regeneration Plan has been a disappointment in many aspects since its launch in 2009, the Social Intervention Fund has had a positive impact on many people, families, and projects across the whole of Limerick City – it has changed and saved lives – that is how important it is.”
