MILK MARKET
REDEVELOPMENT,
Cornmarket Row,
Limerick.


 The development work at the Milk Market – one of the oldest
markets in the country, having operated on this site since 1852 –
involves upgrading the facilities to benefit traders, shoppers and
the economy of the greater Limerick area, including many parts
of Clare.

Work at the Milk Market involves
(a) the provision of a “umbrella-style” tensile roof structure
supported on piled foundations covering an area of
approximately 1,650 m2. This specially-designed shelter being
erected over the Milk Market will eliminate weather-related
fluctuations.
(b) Removal of the existing block paved stall area and replacing
it with polished concrete slab and granite paving.
(c) The provision of a pavilion, which includes a mezzanine floor
containing a restaurant and some additional permanent retail
units.

The initial ground works involved excavtion, piling, concrete
foundations and services instalation all adjacent to the existing
city wall. This involved closed liaison and coordination with the
conservation architect, project archeologist and Limerick City
Heritage Officer.
