Senior official named for Moyross area

The senior official who will co-ordinate local voluntary and state initiates in Moyross has been named today as John Fitzgerald.

The native Limerick man who will have a direct line to cabinet ministers in his new post apparently has a wealth of experience in local government.

Willie O’Dea spoke today of the appointment saying Mr. Fitzgerald is a problem solver,

“Today the Moyross community has the chance of a new beginning. The Government knows the problems that are there. I vow to ensure that John Fitzgerald and the Task Force are given every resource available to do their job. They will, in consultation with the local community, decide what needs to be done and I know, they will get it done.

The problems of Moyross have been well-ventilated in the media in recent times.But my firm belief is that this Government initiative to address the issues of social exclusion, crime and disorder will allow the people of Moyross to partake in the unprecedented social and commercial success now enjoyed by the rest of Limerick.”
