This submission seeks to concentrate on ports, harbours and shipping and in particular the need to consider the influential and positive impact that a Tier 1 commercial port can have on the wider city-region economy. The inter-relationship between land and sea ‘planning’ needs to be enhanced, particularly having regard to infrastructure investments and transport connectivity. The National Planning Framework (NPF) needs to better understand this inter-relationship and use this understanding to guide spatial planning throughout the country. A tiered system of ports has been introduced in Ireland to facilitate more competitive and effective market for maritime transport services.

  • DRAFT LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 Volume 3C Proposed Record of Protected Structures Adare/Rathkeale Municipal District
    DRAFT LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 Volume 3C Proposed Record of Protected Structures Adare/Rathkeale Municipal District June 2021 Contents 1.0 Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 1 2.0 Record of Protected Structures - Adare Rathkeale Municipal District ................................ 2 1.0 Introduction Limerick City & County Council is obliged to compile and maintain a Record of Protected Structures (RPS) under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). A Protected Structure, unless otherwise stated, includes the interior of the structure, the land lying within the curtilage of the structure, and other structures lying within that curtilage and their interiors. The protection also extends to boundary treatments. The proposed RPS contained within Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022 - 2028 Plan represents a varied cross section of the built heritage of Limerick. The RPS is a dynamic record, subject to revision and addition. Sometimes, ambiguities in the address and name of the buildings can make it unclear whether a structure is included on the RPS. Where there is uncertainty you should contact the Conservation Officer. The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is responsible for carrying out surveys of the architectural heritage on a county-by-county basis. Following the publication of the NIAH for Limerick City and County, and any subsequent Ministerial recommendations, the Council will consider further amendments to the Record of Protected Structures. The NIAH survey may be consulted online at buildingsofireland.ie There are 565 structures listed as Protected Structures in the Adare - Rathkeale District. The NIAH recommends 173 structures to be added to the Record of Protected Structures. The Council will seek to assess and add these structures if appropriate within the lifetime of this plan.

  • Transatlantic: the Flying Boats of Foynes
    Transatlantic: The Flying Boats of Foynes A Documentary by Michael Hanley Transatlantic: The Flying Boats of Foynes Introduction: She'd come down into the water the very same as a razor blade... barely touch it ‐ you'd hardly see the impression it would make. That was usual, but other times they might hit it very hard... ah yes, they were great days, there's no doubt about it. Poem: I'm sure you still remember the famous flying boats, B.O.A.C., P.A.A. and American Export. With crews - some were small, some tall, some dressed in blue, And in a shade of silvery grey, Export hostess and crew. Narrator: The town of Foynes is situated 15 miles west of Limerick city at the mouth of the River Shannon. Today it is a quietly prosperous port that at first glimpse belies its significance in the history of aviation. 60 years ago the flying boats, the first large commercial aeroplanes ploughed their heavy paths through the rough weather of the transatlantic run to set their passengers down here, on the doorstep of Europe, gateway to a new world. In a time of economic depression and growing international conflict, Foynes welcomed the world in the embrace of the Shannon estuary. "It can't be done!" That was most people's reaction to the idea of flying the Atlantic. After the First War, aircraft could just not perform to the levels needed to traverse the most treacherous ocean in the world. But the glory and the economic rewards for those who succeeded were huge.

  • Community Native Woodland Initiative 1998 – 2020
    Community Native Woodland Initiative 1998 – 2020 “Creating Space for Nature to Function” at Broadford, County Limerick/Cork Bounds Figure 1: Heritage Week 2014. 2020 will mark our 21st consecutive Heritage Week event at Broadford Village “Wildlife Arboretum”. A former limestone quarry of c. 1.5 acres with public access opposite the Village Church that had been used as a dumping site for decades, albeit bequeathed under a Will as a playground for the scholars of the then nearby National School on the Village Main Street. Author was approached by Broadford Community Council in early 1998 and invited to tender a detailed proposal that would guide on a “Best Practice” Project that entailed 1) Earth Education ‘for the Primary Scholars’ benefit, 2) Community participation and 3) N.E.C. – Not excessively costing. Approval was prompt – LEADER underwrote to the tune of £8,000.00 for requisite materials and site clearance (undertaken voluntarily by the Community on appointed days) commenced early Autumn 1998. Project Details Our “Mission Statement” envisaged the bringing together, within the one site, of the entire assemblage of Ireland’s Indigenous (Native) Tree and Shrub Species with the commitment to the sourcing of Local Genetic Material (Provenance) available in North Cork and West Limerick. Adherence to Organic Practices both in the establishment and aftercare (maintenance) phases ensured both safe recreation for scholars and visitors at large – and crucially a welcoming home for Lichens, Liverworts and Mosses. The partial entrance ramp from the street required upgrading – the “Plan” provided for an exit ramp and installation of an enclosure “post and rail” wooden fence and encircling pathway.
