Residents in Boro Park last year, opposing plans for modular housing
MAYOR of Limerick John Moran has suffered a crushing defeat to his hopes of developing modular homes at a park on the city's southside.
It comes after councillors invoked emergency legislation to prevent his plans to build up to 500 temporary homes in the Boro Park at Janesboro proceeding.
At a special council meeting this Monday afternoon, a motion put together by City East councillors Sarah Kiely and priomh-chomhairleoir Catherine Slattery to in effect block the development using Local Government legislation was passed by 39 votes to zero.
Mayor Moran did not vote in the roll-call at the end of the three-hour meeting, and there was one councillor absent.
Alongside the 40 members of the council and the executive, there were around 30 people in the gallery at County Hall in Dooradoyle from the Janesboro community.
On top of this, around 100 people watched proceedings unfold online.
At the end of the meeting, council director general Dr Pat Daly confirmed in response to a query from Cllr Dan McSweeney that he and his staff would be bound by the vote.
