Another stolen car in the Clarina Park site, Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick.
While I’m sure that other residents reported the stolen car, the times noted in this video are the times that I personally contacted An Garda Síochána and the Council’s “Office of Regeneration“.
As far as I’m aware, the Gardaí are supposed to remove stolen cars for forensics if they haven’t been burnt out. I don’t know why they didn’t show up; I can only assume it was because of a lack of resources; Garda numbers for Limerick are at an all-time low.
The Clarina Park site is the responsibility of Limerick City & County Council and its “Office of Regeneration”. There are now the shells of two burnt-out cars on the site.
The site once had 49 perfectly good houses that were built in 1996 - the area was depopulated and the houses demolished over a 5-year period (2007 - 2012). The former estate of Clarina Park is now a proposed site and has been "green-lined" for private development in the long-term (8-years). Three blocks of adjacent homes have also been "red-lined" for demolition and "green-lined" for private development in the Council's new "regeneration" plan without any prior agreement with the owners. The site is not secure because the Council have an "open spaces" policy.
In the interest of resident’s safety and security the site needs to be properly secured.
