Introduction
The proposed Mungret Link Streets Project is located in the townland of Mungret to the west of Limerick City and in the vicinity to the R510 Regional road and the R859 Regional Road. The proposed scheme is a key element of public infrastructure to enable the delivery of the Mungret-Loughmore Masterplan which is a significant objective of the Southern Environs Local Area Plan.

Ducting for the provision of services detailed below will also be installed to facilitate the future implementation of the area masterplan.
