People need help now not later, says Boston activist
I DRIVE up to O’Malley Park and Southill these days and it’s very depressing how bad things have got,” says Billy Higgins, the retired Boston businessman who has donated thousands of euro to the community for over the past 20 years.
Billy is sitting in a cafe in Roxboro on the day Limerick Regeneration Agency publishes the master plan that aims to transform Southill over the next 10 years. He recognizes the history of the occaission but he says people living in Southill need help now and not just over the course of the next decade. Existing problems can’t be put on the long finger with the promise of regeneration.
