A new group charged with changing the face of the Shannon Estuary has seen its terms of reference published this week.
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar TD has published the details for the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce, following government approval for its establishment.
It's anticipated the group will assess the strategic strengths and comparative advantages of the Shannon Estuary and scope out potential opportunities for the area. The group will produce a report, specifying the actions which can be taken to create jobs and opportunities in the region by October of this year.
It will aim to come up with ways to develop industry and fully exploit the vast landbank around the Shannon Estuary.
Limerick Leader has more on the taskforce.
