Description

Nicholas Street forms part of the historic core of Limerick City and is located within an area of archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage significance. The Nicholas Street Public Realm Project seeks to improve the quality, accessibility, functionality and appearance of the public realm while respecting and enhancing the area's historic character. The preliminary design and Part 8 Planning process for the project has been completed.
