The Harland & Wolf shipyard was the largest in the United Kingdom and it increased the production of warships. The Shorts Brothers & Harland aircraft factory saw a huge increase in its operations. Belfast itself was poorly protected despite being a major target for enemy attack. Whereas Glasgow had 88 anti-aircraft guns, Belfast only had 24. The city also did not have a properly developed fire brigade service. In November 1940 the German Luftwaffe sent out reconnaissance (spy) flights over Belfast that took photographs of the city, including its main factories. THE BOMBING OF BELFAST The first attack on Belfast took place on the 7 April 1941. It was carried out by 6 German bombers and resulted in 14 deaths and started 17 fires throughout the city. A week later on the night of 15 April, the Luftwaffe carried out a mass raid on Belfast. The attack involved 180 aircraft and lasted some five hours, between 11.00pm and 4.00 am. The death toll was around 900 and 600 were seriously injured.

Jednostki te nie tylko reprezentują interesy poszczególnych środowisk gospodarczych, ale też są ważnym partnerem dla irlandzkiej administracji rządowej. Organizacje branżowe pomagają przy opracowywaniu ocen skutków przygotowywanych przez parlament regulacji prawnych odnoszących się do poszczególnych gałęzi gospodarki. Poniżej przedstawiamy najważniejsze z organizacji branżowych w Irlandii. Konfederacja irlandzkich przedsiębiorców i pracodawców - Irish Business and Employers Confederation – IBEC jest narodową organizacją liczącą około 7,5 tys. członków, wśród których znajdują się małe i duże przedsiębiorstwa zatrudniające 70% wszystkich pracowników sektora prywatnego.

IBEC posiada sześć biur w całej Irlandii. W Dublinie znajduje się siedziba główna, a pozostałe oddziały są zlokalizowane w Cork, Donegal, Galway, Limerick i Waterford. IBEC jako organizacja reprezentująca irlandzki biznes i stowarzyszenia sektorowe, czy specjalistyczne odgrywa duże znaczenie podczas prac legislacyjnych.

The proposed development, which is described in full in Chapter 2 of the EIS, comprises: within – or associated with – the main project site on the campus of St. James’s Hospital, Dublin 8: o a new children’s hospital and associated Family Accommodation Unit, sited in the west of the campus; o a new Children’s Research and Innovation Centre sited along James’s Street; o associated works to boundaries, roads, entrances, parking areas, hard and soft landscaping etc. within the application site boundary; and a construction compound, at Davitt Road, Drimnagh, Dublin 12, which is directly associated with the developments at St. James’s Hospital Campus. a new children's hospital satellite centre at Tallaght Hospital, Dublin 24; and a new children's hospital satellite centre at Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 The main purpose of the report is to assess the potential significance and sensitivity of the existing architectural and cultural heritage environment, and in turn to evaluate the likely and significant impacts of the proposed development on this environment. Ameliorative (remedial or reductive) measures are proposed where necessary to safeguard any structures or features of built heritage or local cultural heritage interest that are identified during the course of the present study. 16.1 St. James’s Hospital 16.1.1 Introduction The site at St James’s Hospital Campus is comprised of two elements. The principal portion, on which the new children’s hospital and associated Family Accommodation Unit is proposed, is located to the western end of the campus, while a smaller portion towards the eastern end of the campus, facing 16-1 James’s Street, is proposed to accommodate the Children’s Research and Innovation Centre.
