Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Regional Planning Guidelines For The Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Prepared by: The Regional Planning Guidelines Office, Dublin Regional Authority Mid-East Regional Authority 15th of June 2010 Foreword The review period for the Regional Planning Guidelines has come at a time of change – changes in global and national economics, changes in planning and environmental legislation and changes in the political structures to deliver on national goals. This time of transition presents new challenges in the way we plan for our future and offers opportuni- ties to examine innovative ways and means of achieving a bright future for the citizens of Greater Dublin. The Regional Planning Guidelines set out the planned direction for growth within the Greater Dublin Area up to 2022 by giving regional effect to national planning policy under the National Spatial Strategy (NSS). These Guidelines also have a crucial role in supporting regionally important infrastructure and the investment priorities of the National Development Plan and Transport 21. This is the second time that Regional Planning Guidelines (RPGs) have been prepared for the Dublin and Mid East Regions and cover the 12 year period from 2010 to 2022. The Regional Planning Guidelines build upon the experience and progress made under the previous Guidelines and establish new and innovative policy ideas to guide sustainable and balanced growth throughout the Greater Dublin Area. An integrated model of policy development is a key component of the RPGs, with economic, infrastructure and set- tlement policies being interdependent. This is complemented by new approaches to environmental and social policy which incorporates themes of green infrastructure development, climate change, flood risk management and social inclusion. In effect, this integrated approach seeks to clearly promote sustainable growth and build sustainable com- munities within the Greater Dublin Area. This regional vision for the future development of the Greater Dublin Area could not have come about without the input and experience of the relevant governmental agencies and departments, the two regional authorities and the support and cooperation of the seven local authorities within the region. The role of Forfás, in the preparation of the regional economic strategy, and consultants in preparing the environmental reports, have also been a welcome addition to the Guidelines preparation process. It is also important to recognise the valued input and broad experience of interest groups and individuals whose contributions, through the public consultation processes, helped inform the preparation of these Guidelines.

  • A Vision of South Dublin's Future Final.Indd
    A VISION FOR SOUTH DUBLIN’S FUTURE 2 Chief Executive’s Invitation The review of the County Development Plan and the preparation of a new Plan is one of the most important functions of South Dublin County Council. The South Dublin County Council Development Plan 2016-2022 will set out a vision for South Dublin’s future to 2022 and beyond. The review has come at a time of change. Following a period of economic contraction the outlook for the period of the next Plan is more positive. This time of transition and renewed growth presents new challenges in the way we plan for our future and offers opportunities to examine innovative ways and means of achieving a brighter future for the citizens of South Dublin County. The publication of this booklet “A Vision for South Dublin’s Future” is the fi rst step in the plan making process. The booklet presents an overview of the main development issues currently impacting on South Dublin County and identifi es the kind of planning matters that the next County Development Plan could address. We have attempted to highlight the issues that we think are important but this list is by no means exhaustive. Now we want to hear from you. Have we overlooked issues, which are of importance to you? If so we need to know what these are. Public input at the start of the plan making process is important so that the fi nal Plan can refl ect and respond to public concerns and aspirations.

  • Dublin Ireland: a City Addressing Challenging Water Supply, Management, and Governance Issues
    Copyright © 2014 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Kelly-Quinn, M., S. Blacklocke, M. Bruen, R. Earle, E. O'Neill, J. O'Sullivan, and P. Purcell. 2014. Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues. Ecology and Society 19(4): 10. http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ ES-06921-190410 Research, part of a Special Feature on Urban Water Governance Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues Mary Kelly-Quinn 1, Sean Blacklocke 2, Michael Bruen 2, Ray Earle 3, Eoin O'Neill 4, John O'Sullivan 2 and Patrick Purcell 2 ABSTRACT. The population of Dublin City and its suburbs currently stands at 1.3 million and is projected to reach 2.1 million by 2022. There is pressure on its water supply system (inadequate catchment sources, ageing infrastructure including treatment facilities, and distribution network) with little or no spare capacity despite Ireland’s relatively high rainfall that is well distributed throughout the year; albeit the greatest rainfall occurs in the west and southwest and at some remove from Dublin. The current governance approach to addressing the projected water supply deficit relies heavily on a combination of identifying new supply sources to secure the long-term water supply needs of the city together with an intense drive toward achieving “demand-side” reduced usage and conservation targets in accordance with EU benchmarks for various individual and sectoral users. This potentially emerging crisis of water scarcity in Dublin, with drivers including population growth, greater industrial and institutional demands, migration, and climate change, has generated one of the most significant public water works projects proposed in Irish history, which is to abstract raw water from the Shannon River Basin in the midland region and, following treatment, pump it to a storage reservoir in a cut-away bog before piping to the Greater Dublin Area.

    3rd PID FORUM on National Plans for Rare Diseases: Centres of reference and patients’ registries Hosted by Mrs. Nessa Childers MEP, 26 September 2012 Report INTERNATIONAL PATIENT ORGANISATION FOR PRIMARY IMMUNODEFICIENCIES IPOPI is a charity registered in the UK. Registration No. 1058005. Firside, Main Road, Downderry, PL11 3LE, United Kingdom. Executive Office: Tel/Fax (+351) 21 407 5720 e-mail: [email protected] website: ww.ipopi.org Recommendations 1. Member States should fully develop their national plans/strategies by the end of 2013, and ensure that patients with rare diseases have access to high-quality care. 2. It is not sufficient to adopt a national plan: the adoption must be fully implemented and the plan should have access to sufficient funding to develop the envisioned activities. 3. Patients should be consulted and taken into consideration whenever Member States or the European Union develop policies that may affect their lives. 4. The heterogeneity between national plans demonstrates the need for the EU to play a coordinating role and tackle inequalities in the access to treatment across the Union. 5. Policymakers should ensure that national plans/strategies fully comply with the Council Recommendations, especially when supporting the creation or development of centres of reference and patient registries. 6. Patient registries and national centres of reference should be included when Member States are developing their National Plans for Rare Diseases to encourage research and improve diagnosis and information to patients. 7. PIDs are an important group of rare diseases and as such should be taken into consideration by national policy makers when developing the national plans for rare diseases.

  • 29 Members of European Parliament Call for Support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income!
    Dec 03, 2013 10:37 GMT 29 Members of European Parliament call for support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income! PRESS RELEASE 29 Members of European Parliament call for support for the European Citizens Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income! Twenty-nine Members of the European Parliament from twelve countries have issued a joint statement expressing their support for the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) for Unconditional Basic Income. This calls upon the European Commission to assess the idea of reforming current national social security arrangements towards an unconditional basic income (UBI). UBI is a regular, universal payment to everyone without means-testing or work conditions. It should be high enough to guarantee everyone a dignified existence. It would let people make choices about what to do in life without fear of poverty. It would act as a cushion for the increasing numbers of people who have short-term or zero-hour contracts, and those starting up their own businesses. Many financing schemes have been elaborated over the years in several countries. The European Initiative for UBI demands further studies to be started at the EU level. The MEPs ask all Europeans to support this initiative. All EU citizens eligible to vote can support this ECI either via the internet (http://sign.basicincome2013.eu) or on paper. One million signatures are needed by 14 January 2014 to make sure it lands on the EC’s desk. The current social security systems are demeaning and inadequate in addressing the roots of poverty, the MEPs emphasize. "Unconditional Basic Income would transform social security from a compensatory system into an emancipatory system, one that trusts people to make their own decisions, and does not stigmatise them for their circumstances," the statement says.
