As the General Election 2024 approaches, Limerick Chamber has unveiled its comprehensive ‘Mid-West Policy Priorities for General Election 2024’ document that offers clear, actionable policy recommendations aimed at strengthening Limerick City & County, and the wider Mid-West region.
It focuses on key areas such as housing, business vitality enablers, energy independence, infrastructure, and balanced regional development—all of which are critical to securing a bright future for the Mid-West region.
President of Limerick Chamber Noel Gavin said today, “As President of Limerick Chamber, I am proud to present our General Election Priorities report, which underscores our commitment to advocating for Businesses in the Mid-West.
“Our Manifesto highlights the need for addressing capital and social infrastructural gaps, enhancing housing affordability and availability, and providing vital support and training to develop a diverse range of business skills.
“We also emphasise the importance of increasing transport and trade links across land, air, and sea, as well as ensuring safer communities through enhanced policing. These priorities are essential for maintaining the Mid-West as a best-in-class destination to both live and do business in”.
Michelle Gallagher, CEO of Limerick Chamber welcomed the document saying, “The Mid-West Policy Priorities for GE24 reflects Limerick Chamber’s commitment to advocating for policies that not only support businesses but also address the wider needs of people living and working in the region.
“Developed by our Chief Economist Sean Golden in collaboration with Limerick Chamber’s members and stakeholders, it calls for decisive action and policy reform across several core sectors to ensure the Mid-West region remains competitive on the national and international stage”.
Limerick Chamber, as the leading voice and advocate for business in the region, is calling on all political candidates to make priorities outlined in its Manifesto a central focus in their campaigns.
The priorities include Affordable and Social Housing; revitalisation enablers: for Limerick City Centre and towns; energy independence: Energy Environment, Foynes Port & Offshore Renewable Energy; business viability: Skills and Talent, Supporting Business; and regional development: Liveability, Aviation, Infrastructure & Mobility
