Limerick Leader

Plans for a three-storey modern glass building in the Georgian area of Pery Square have been lodged with Limerick City Council. But the proposal has already met with a heated reaction from members of the parents' council of St Michael's National School which borders the site of the proposed new building. And Dean Maurice Sirr of the Church of Ireland has said he would be surprised if objections were not submitted to City Council, before a decision is due on February 20. The proposed building is on a site at the corner of Pery Square and Barrington Street, which architect Michael Healy is hoping to acquire for his own purposes. Dean Maurice Sirr and representatives from Healy Architects presented the plans to the parents' council of the school before Christmas, where an open discussion followed.
