National Marine Planning Framework Draft NMPF Submissions, Marine Planning Section Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government Newtown Road Wexford, Y35 AP90 Emailed to [email protected] 30th April 2020 Submission – Draft National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF) Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to comment on the Draft National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF). Founded in 1964, Kilsaran Concrete is the largest privately owned concrete and construction materials company in Ireland. Kilsaran remains a family owned Irish company producing quality construction material from 20 large quarries and 23 nationwide state-of-the-art concrete production facilities. Accordingly, Kilsaran has an intimate knowledge of terrestrial planning framework as it pertains to the sourcing and delivery of essential construction raw materials and concrete manufactured products. Kilsaran formed part of a group of companies that participated in the IMAGIN1 Project. The overall aim of the IMAGIN project was to facilitate the evolution of a strategic framework within which the exploitation of marine aggregate resources from the Irish Sea may be sustainably managed with minimum risk of impact on marine and coastal environments, ecosystems and other marine users. IMAGIN identified significant deposits of sand and gravel in the Irish Sea. We wish to have input on the design of a future marine planning framework for Ireland, and help to realise Ireland’s marine potential as a sustainable source of construction aggregates. We hope you find our comments useful and we would be happy to discuss them further with you, should that be required. 1 Kozachenko, M., Fletcher, R., Sutton, G., Monteys, X., Van Landeghem, K., Wheeler, A., Lassoued, Y., Cooper, A. and Nicoll, C. (2008) A geological appraisal of marine aggregate resources in the southern Irish Sea. Technical report produced for the Irish Sea Marine Aggregates Initiative (IMAGIN) project funded under the INTERREG IIIA Community Initiative Programme 2000-2006. University College Cork, Ireland, 390pp. ISBN 978-0- 9556109-2-9. It is not clear if marine aggregates are considered under the Objectives heading (page 138). This section should clearly set out that the Objectives also refer to Marine Aggregates and not just minerals. The bullet points thereunder refer solely to minerals and metals, for clarity and to avoid any doubt Marine Aggregates should be referenced. For example, it would be preferable for the first bullet to explicitly state… ‘Support sustainable marine aggregates and mineral exploration to enable the discovery and development of economic deposits.’. This also applies to the subsequent three bullet points under ‘Objectives’. At paragraph 13.2 the draft text refers to ‘To the limited extent that marine aggregates extraction has taken place it has been permitted only for beneficial purposes such as beach nourishment, coastal protection, reclamation and backfill.’. Kilsaran Concrete has been engaged with Drogheda Port Company since 2010 providing a beneficial re-use for dredged sand from the approach channel of the River Boyne. This type of beneficial re-use of marine aggregates into the construction industry should be acknowledged in the NMPF. Also at paragraph 13.2 it refers ‘While there is little short-term demand for marine mineral resources, medium to long-term anticipated future growth in construction activity and associated demand for aggregates may lead to a greater level of marine aggregates extraction in the future while technological advances will influence their viability.’. In February 2018, the Government published Project 2040 which is the overarching policy and planning framework for the social, economic and cultural development of Ireland. On 23rd October 2019, Minister of State for Natural Resources Sean Canney TD launched the Irish Concrete Federation’s Publication “Essential Aggregates: Providing for Irelands’ needs to 2040” (copy attached to this submission). In this document the ICF predicts that to satisfy the Project Ireland 2040 plan 1.5 billion tonnes of aggregates will need to be produced. It also highlights the scarcities of particular products such as sand are already emerging in the eastern and midland regions as terrestrial sources of aggregates continue to diminish. The demand for marine aggregates in the eastern region of the Country is already here and up until now no commercial marine aggregate operations have taken place because there has been no clear consenting/licensing regime to allow for the extraction of marine aggregates. Marine aggregates extraction is common practice across the globe and technologies already exist to allow for viable extraction in Irish waters.

The UN Global Assessment by the IPBES (2019) reports an alarming and unprecedented rate of decline in nature and an accelerating rate of species extinctions. PARIS, 6 May – Nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history – and the rate of species extinctions is accelerating, with grave impacts on people around the world now likely, warns a landmark new report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the summary of which was approved at the 7th session of the IPBES Plenary, meeting last week (29 April – 4 May) in Paris. “The overwhelming evidence of the IPBES Global Assessment, from a wide range of different fields of knowledge, presents an ominous picture,” said IPBES Chair, Sir Robert Watson. “The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever. We are eroding the very foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide.” “The Report also tells us that it is not too late to make a difference, but only if we start now at every level from local to global,” he said. “Through ‘transformative change’, nature can still be conserved, restored and used sustainably – this is also key to meeting most other global goals. By transformative change, we mean a fundamental, system-wide reorganization across technological, economic and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values.” “The member States of IPBES Plenary have now acknowledged that, by its very nature, transformative change can expect opposition from those with interests vested in the status quo, but also that such opposition can be overcome for the broader public good,” Watson said.

    A chara – Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann, established in 1984, is the representative body for Ireland’s off-shore Islands and as such would like to make a submission to the National Planning Framework. We would like to stress that it is vital that all national planning and policy decisions be mindful of the unique geographical, social, heritage, language and demographics of the Islands: many times well-intentioned schemes and programmes devised without Island consultation simply do not work. And while it is true that, “Safe and regular access to the offshore islands has been significantly advanced in recent years through passenger and cargo ferry services or new or significantly upgraded pier and landing facilities. This capital investment, in both infrastructure and services, continues to support the sustainability of island communities” (NPF draft document pg 62) there is no core funding program for the Islands in place so CDP’s and Co-Ops cannot realistically plan into the future. Additionally, funding to the community development groups and Co-ops has been severely cut over the years, so much so that many services have had to be cut. Please see the attached documents that set out Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann policies and actions into the future.

Following initial public consultation and consideration of submissions received, the West Regional Authority prepared the Draft Regional Planning Guidelines for the West Region which was placed on public display for a period of 10 weeks from the 22nd January 2010 to 9th April 2010. Public authorities, community organisations, public and private agencies and the public generally were invited to make submissions regarding the Draft Regional Planning Guidelines and associated documents. Following the close of submissions, a report on the submissions received was compiled and presented to the Members of the West Regional Authority at their monthly meeting on the 24th June 2010. At a meeting on the 19th October, 2010, the Members of the West Regional Authority made the Regional Planning Guidelines for the West Region 2010 – 2022.
