The members of the Limerick Regeneration Boards, who will oversee the make over of the Moyross and Southill areas of the city, were announced today by the Minister for the Environment John Gormley.

The boards will feature local community and business interests, as well as a local representative form the Garda Síochána.

The boards were formed following a report for the Government by John Fitzgerald into social exclusion, crime and disorder issues in Limerick.

Mr Fitzgerald will chair both boards while Brendan Kenny has been named as the CEO of both agencies.
