Mayor Byrne And Local Children Clean Up St Mary's Park

Children From St Mary's Park, are spending a portion of their Summer holidays painting derelict houses on St Munchin's Street with Mayor Maria Byrne (FG). The initiative which is called "lets get together" is being supported by the Limerick Regeneration Agency. The Civic Trust and St Mary's aid are providing enviorment workers for the project. The idea behind the project is to clean up and maintain 60 derelict houses, by painting them, and cutting the grass in the gardens, thus making them alot more presentable. "Kings Island" came first when they first entered the tidy towns competition in 1999. That category is now defunct, so St Mary's Park is entering the urban housing estate category this year.
