MANDY McNamara was one of the beaming tenants to be handed the keys to their new homes in De Vere Court, John Carew Park this Monday.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Limerick City and County Council said they were delighted that local authority tenants got to unlock the front doors of 14 new properties.<\/p>\n

The development comprises of a total of 16 properties – eight two-bed and eight three-bed – with two properties offered under the Incremental Purchase Scheme. This allows a property to be purchased at a discounted rate for those eligible under the scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of the new tenants have moved from the uncertainty of emergency homeless accommodation into the security of long-term housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project has been delivered by Limerick City and County Council\u2019s Regeneration Directorate and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.,\u201d said the council spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Michael Fitzgibbon Contractors Limited delivered these homes using Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF), with all units achieving an A rating under the Building Energy Rating (BER).<\/p>\n

Finished to an exceptionally high standard, these homes offer spacious accommodation for modern day living.<\/p>\n

Mayor of Limerick, John Moran visited the new development to meet with some of the new tenants and said: \u201cToday\u2019s handover of keys to 14 different tenants at De Vere Court is the latest modest but significant step, certainly for the new residents, in our efforts to continue to unlock housing delivery here in Limerick. When it comes to housing, delivery is what matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese 14 tenants have been afforded stability and an opportunity to build roots through our action and delivery. Ultimately, we want to continue to turn this momentum into more keys into doors, building more communities and delivering more homes across Limerick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pr\u00edomh Chomhairleoir, Cllr Catherine Slattery commented: \u201cThis is a very welcome development for Carew Park and the wider area. It is great to see high-quality homes being delivered for local families and the inclusion of two homes under the Incremental Purchase Scheme is very welcome.<\/p>\n

These homes will bring new energy to the community and support the continued growth and regeneration of the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director General at Limerick City and County Council, Dr. Pat Daly added: \u201cWe are delighted to deliver these energy efficient homes that will make a real difference in people\u2019s lives. This development reflects our ongoing commitment to providing sustainable housing solutions and supporting the regeneration of communities across Limerick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction of the De Vere Court development by Michael Fitzgibbon Contractors Limited commenced in September 2024 at a cost of around \u20ac4m. This is the latest development in the area, with 26 units welcomed to Churchfield, in nearby O\u2019Malley Park, over the winter months.<\/p>\n
