Reimagining the Mall in Ballingarry with funds from Town and Village Renewal Scheme

Works have been completed on the Mall in Ballingarry, Co. Limerick which will help breathe new life into the village.

Funding of just over €79,000 was granted to Ballingarry under the Town and Village Renewal scheme, an initiative under the Action Plan for Rural Development and the Government’s Project Ireland 2040 Programme for Rural Regeneration.

It is part of a suite of national and local support measures to rejuvenate rural towns and villages throughout Ireland and is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and is administered by the Local Authorities.

This public realm improvement project was funded under Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) in 2019 with a grant of €79,604, with additional financial support from Limerick City and County Council (LCCC). RIAI award winning Healy Partners Architects produced the design (called Reimagining The Mall) and project managed the works, generously donating the cost of their professional services to the community.

Ballingarry Development Association have worked unstintingly in making the village what it is today with the support of Limerick City and County Council in delivering this project. Over the past few weeks the group has planted a selection of sensory plants along the Mall to provide scent and colour, which will be adjusted and added to in the years to come.

Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Daniel Butler said: “The restoration project around the Mall is a positive addition to the public realm of the village of Ballingarry. The upgraded space, centred around the Mall, with new planting will be enjoyed by the local community and visitors to Ballingarry for years to come.”

“While the project may be small scale in nature, it is important as it provides a lift to this part of the village and creates a focal point for communities to gather and for visitors to explore and enjoy.”
