Interview With The Mayor | A Vision For Limerick
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Limerick is one of Ireland's most fascinating cities, and one of its most misunderstood. Once synonymous with knife crime and negative headlines, it has undergone a remarkable transformation. Billions invested in health, education, housing and the docklands have brought it level with Cork, Galway and Waterford. But Limerick didn't stop there.
In 2024 Limerick became home to Ireland's first and only directly elected Mayor, John Moran. A person with a plan, a mandate, and a timeframe in which to deliver it. For the first time in Irish history, people voted not for a party or a set of beliefs, but for a vision.
In this episode we explore what that vision looks like on the ground. From festoon lights on the Shannon to a proposed 70 acre riverside park. From the Marmot City framework tackling generational deprivation to a polycentric city model that could reshape how Limerick grows for decades to come.
