Horse Project for Limerick City Could Yet Be Realised - Cllr Sarah Beasley
19 /8/2024
A much promised and long-awaited Horse project for Limerick City could eventually be realised. That’s according to Aontú Cllr. Sarah Beasley who says that the project is now included in the Mayoral Programme, a development she describes as “very promising”.
Cllr Beasley says: “A much needed Horse Project was originally promised in the 2008 Regeneration Plan. To resolve some of the issues in the housing estates, people were promised a whole host of facilities including stables, rotation of horses and cleaning options so that the animals would
be properly accommodated and not roaming around and at risk of being seized by the pound”.
“It is encouraging to see that the Mayor has seriously considered this proposal. I have been raising this issue for years now. Following our initial submission of five key priorities, we were recently informed that each Councillor in the Metropolitan area could propose one further objective and this is definitely a key objective for me”.
“These beautiful animals must be protected and I firmly believe that the Horse Project will engender a deeper respect for them and encourage better care and conditions. I look forward to working closely with the Mayor to bring this long awaited project to fruition. So far he has shown a commitment to serving all people of Limerick. I hope this collaborative spirit continues as we move forward and one way of truly demonstrating this is by getting this long awaited Horse Project off the group for people in areas of Limerick that up to now have not received the amenities they so badly need”.
