Southill (Irish: Cnoc Theas) is an area in the south of Limerick, Ireland consisting of four housing estates: O'Malley Park, Keyes Park, Kincora Park and Carew Park.
Unemployment rates in the area as of 2003 were at four times the national average, with only 50% of adults in Southill having completed formal education.[1] A report from 1982 showed two-thirds of Southill's population were under the age of 18, with 94 percent having left school at the age of 16.[2] Several reports done since the initial report in 1982 have shown similar trends. In the media, Southill is known for its crime rate, which is contributed to by gangland feuds, turf wars, and poverty in the area. However, efforts are currently being made to rejuvenate the area.[citation needed]
