Limerick Local Economic and Community Plan 2023-2028

The Limerick Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) is a 6-year plan for local economic development and local community development across Limerick. It is about working to achieve the sustainable development of communities in Limerick.


This means:

  • People, wherever they live and from different backgrounds, can enjoy a good quality of life with access to services they need, spaces and places for recreation and have opportunities to participate in community and civic life;  
  • Limerick is a good place for business and employment, providing good quality jobs for all;  
  • We have a vibrant living city and towns and villages that are built up from the core and are safe places to visit, to live in, to shop and to work in;  
  • We can live more sustainably protecting our environment, the natural landscapes and nature, and adapting to the big challenges we face with climate change; 
  • We are resilient to new and sometimes unexpected challenges. We can find new ways of doing things and adapt to change.
