A LIMERICK council home boarded up has re-opened following a backlash in the community.
Moyross residents were appalled to see the home – only built a few years ago – in Cliona Park having had security coverings put on it after its former occupants moved out.
Limerick City and County Council has said the move was taken due to fears of damage.
It’s not yet clear what has prompted the council to take the action to remove the covers, with the Leader awaiting a statement from the local authority.
But there was heavy criticism of the initial move to board it up, from local residents, plus Cllrs Sharon Benson and John Costelloe.
