Thirty five preliminary examinations were carried out in 2011, from which three full investigations were commenced. The first investigation involved a road vehicle struck at a manually operated level crossing being worked by members of the public. The second investigation involved a runaway locomotive. And the third related to an axle journal bearing failure on a locomotive. The Railway Accident Investigation Unit published seven investigations reports in 2011 relating to occurrences that took place in 2010. These related to: four level crossing accidents, two of which were serious accidents; two derailments; and an equipment failure on a train. A total of seventeen new safety recommendations were issued in 2011. The focus of the safety recommendations was: the effective implementation of safety controls; improvements to risk management systems; implementing effective communication procedures; and the management of risk at user worked level crossings. Seventy seven safety recommendations have been issued in total up to the end of 2011, including fourteen issued by the Railway Safety Commission in advance of the appointment of a Chief Investigator for the Railway Accident Investigation Unit in 2007.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019 May 2020 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 4 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,704 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 7,813 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with over 100,000 (100,124) households supported to the end of Q4 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.

  • How to Get to Galway
    Getting to Galway Galway is situated on the West Coast of the Republic of Ireland and may be reached by air, ferry, train, bus or car. The following air links may be of assistance www.aerlingus.ie, www.ryanair.com, and www.aerarann.ie.For international delegates we recommended the following arrangements, in order of decreasing preference: 1. Fly direct into Galway Airport. International flights directly into Galway Airport are available on www.galwayairport.com, with flights mainly from other parts of Ireland, the UK and France. 2. Fly into Dublin Airport (www.dublinairport.com) and either fly from there to Galway Airport or take a coach from Dublin Airport to Galway city. Connecting flights from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport are available through Aer Arann (www.aerarann.ie). Galway Airport is approximately 5km from Galway city centre, and both the University and hotels (names to be advised at a later date) are close to the city centre. There are taxi services from Galway Airport to Galway city: there is no bus shuttle. Car hire is also available. Dublin Airport has many international connections but is about 220km from Galway (3 hr drive). Good car hire facilities are available from Dublin Airport. Rather than flying from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport you could take a coach (or train– see below). Independent operators run dependable hourly coach services from Dublin Airport to Galway city (www.citylink.ie or www.gobus.ie), departing outside the Arrivals terminal. These coach trips take about 3 hrs. 3. Fly into Shannon Airport (www.shannonairport.com) and take a coach to Galway city.
