Statement on The Factory Southside Youth Space

LYS Bakery Class of 2019

Limerick Youth Service are pleased to confirm that The Factory Southside Youth Space will remain open until the end of 2021.

Following a request from Limerick City & County Council, Limerick Youth Service have agreed to continue our management of The Factory Southside Youth Space for an additional two year period.

Limerick City & County Council have committed to providing the necessary operational and capital funding which will allow for the provision of valuable services to young people and the community.

It is particularly welcome that Limerick City & County Council have committed to immediately progressing plans to develop and invest in appropriate youth and community facilities on the southside of the city with a view to having facilities in place by the start of 2022.

The Factory Southside Youth Space will continue to be an open, inclusive youth and community space for young people from the southside and beyond with Limerick Youth Service continuing to develop programmes and initiatives that will support young people across the community.

Limerick Youth Service also welcomes youth and community groups who would like to contact The Factory Southside Youth Space with regard to the use of the facility.

Limerick Youth Service wishes to thank the young people, community, volunteers and staff for their continued support and commitment to The Factory Southside Youth Space.

A member of Youth Work Ireland, Limerick Youth Service remains committed to connecting with young people and supporting them to reach their full potential.
