1. Project Ireland 2040

This document sets out the regional projects and programmes which are being planned and delivered in Dublin as part of the public investment detailed in Project Ireland 2040 - the Government’s National Planning Framework and National Development Plan Project Ireland 2040 set out ten National Strategic Outcomes (NSO’s), built around the over-arching themes of well-being, equality and opportunity. This document sets out the main achievements under each NSO to date for the Dublin region and highlights priorities for the coming years.

While this document does not provide an exhaustive list of all public capital expenditure in the Dublin region, it does serve to highlight the diverse range of investment being made by the State under Project Ireland 2040 – a list of the major projects in the Dublin area is contained in the Appendix.

The document draws on information from a wide range of publicly available sources as well as material provided by Government Departments and Agencies.

2. Regional City: Dublin City and Metropolitan Area

Project Ireland 2040 envisages the population of Dublin City and Suburbs to grow by between 235,000 - 290,000 people (20-25%) by 2040. In keeping with the vision of compact smart growth, 50% of new city housing will be within the existing Dublin City and Suburbs footprint.

3. Progress against National Strategic Outcomes 3.1 National Strategic Outcome 1 – Compact Growth

This outcome aims to secure the sustainable growth of more compact urban and rural settlements supported by jobs, houses, services and amenities, rather than continued sprawl and unplanned, uneconomic growth.

There were 1,707 social housing new builds in Dublin in 2018, with more planned in 2019.

In line with the national increase in new houses being built, there was a total of 6,924 new dwelling completions in Dublin in 2018.

The Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) will help to rejuvenate significant but underused areas in Ireland’s five cities and other large towns. In Dublin these include: Dublin City Centre, , , , Dundrum, and Tallaght, amongst others.

The URDF is a key part of Project Ireland 2040 and has a total budget of €2 billion over the period to 2027. The aim of the URDF is to stimulate new residential and commercial development in our larger cities and towns. New services and amenities will support these new developments, and help achieve the ‘compact growth’ also set out in Project Ireland 2040.

In total, there were 16 successful applicants for the latest round of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund.

3.2 National Strategic Outcome 2 – Enhanced Regional Connectivity

A core priority under National Planning Framework is to enhance and upgrade accessibility between urban centres of population and their regions, in parallel with the compact growth of urban centres.

There is one major regional transport project planned for Dublin, the M50 Enhancing Motorway Operation Services (EMOS) Project.

Project Ireland 2040 in Dublin

3.3 National Strategic Outcome 3 – Strengthened Rural Economies and Communities

The full participation of rural communities in strategic development as envisaged under the National Planning Framework is imperative to achieving the full potential of a broad range of strategic outcomes detailed in the National Development Plan. This applies both in terms of the traditional pillars of the rural economy, the natural resource and food sector, as well as those emerging from such developments as improved connectivity, broadband and rural economic development opportunities.

As part of Project Ireland 2040, the Government has committed to providing an additional €1 billion for a new Rural Regeneration and Development Fund over the period 2019 to 2027. The Fund will provide investment to support rural renewal for suitable projects in towns and villages with a population of less than 10,000, and outlying areas. It will be administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

There was 1 project approved for funding in the Dublin area from the first call of the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund – part of a countrywide project to develop international standard Mountain Biking Trails. Table 5: Project approved in Dublin area for funding from the first call of the Rural RDF Applicant Project County Description Total RRDF Funding € Coillte International , This flagship national project will develop €1,192,737 Mountain Cork, international standard Mountain Biking Biking Sligo, Trails which will provide recreational, Project Dublin, health and tourism benefits.

3.4 National Strategic Outcome 4 – Sustainable Mobility

The expansion of attractive and sustainable public transport alternatives to private based car transport will reduce congestion and emissions and enable the transport sector to cater in an environmentally sustainable way for the demands associated with longer term population and employment growth envisaged under Project Ireland 2040. Furthermore, the provision of safe, alternative, active travel options such as segregated cycling and walking facilities can also help alleviate congestion and meet climate action objectives by providing viable alternatives and connectivity with existing public transport infrastructure. Projects planned under this National Strategic Outcome (NSO) for Dublin include the new BusConnects, Metrolink and DART Expansion.

BusConnects Dublin is one of the flagship investments to be delivered under Project Ireland 2040. Over the last year, the National Transport Agency (NTA) has been carrying out a number of public consultations on the various elements of the BusConnects programme. The programme is made up of a number of different components namely:

 Building a new network of improved and cycle lanes;  Redesigning and expanding the network of bus services;  Introducing simpler fare structures and new ticketing technology;  Implementing a new bus livery;  Providing new and improved bus stops and shelters and new park and ride sites; and  Transitioning the entire urban PSO bus fleet to low emission technologies.

The NTA published the MetroLink "Preferred Route" for public consultation on 26th March 2019. This reflects the NTA's and Transport Infrastructure Ireland's (TII) consideration of issues raised in the consultation period held last year on what was known as the ‘Emerging Preferred Route’. The new Preferred Route proposes a number of changes to the route as published last year. The NTA/TII proposal is now to immediately move forward on two fronts: developing MetroLink from Charlemont to Swords and also completing the Green Line Capacity Enhancement Project already underway. It is now proposed to defer the third element of the previous proposal, which is to tie-in the Metro with the existing Luas Green Line and extend Metro services southward along that line.

The Green Line Capacity Enhancement project includes:

 lengthening of the 26 existing Green line from 43m to 55m, significantly increasing their passenger capacity;  procurement of eight new 55m-long trams to cater for the forecast increased passenger demand to 2027; and  extension of the Depot to accommodate the maintenance of the longer trams.

As part of Project Ireland 2040, the funding priority in relation to the DART Expansion Programme is to ensure delivery of the non-tunnel elements of the programme over the next ten years. The initial sequencing of investment will focus on:

 electrification of the Northern Line to ;  electrification of Kildare Line to Hazelhatch;  electrification of Maynooth Line to Maynooth and M3 Parkway;  better utilisation of the Tunnel;  purchase of additional bi-mode rail fleet and  other measures such as re-signalling and junction/station changes.

Project Ireland 2040 in Dublin

Work on developing tender documentation and train specifications for the proposed bi-mode fleet of rail vehicles is progressing. It is expected that the formal fleet acquisition tender process will be initiated in the coming months and that the fleet manufacturing contract will be awarded either at the end of this year or the start of next year.

3.5 National Strategic Outcome 5 – A Strong Economy, supported by Enterprise, Innovation and Skills

A competitive, innovative and resilient enterprise base is essential to provide the jobs and employment opportunities for people to live and prosper in all regions. Achieving the ambitious employment targets in the National Planning Framework in the context of increased global uncertainty, Brexit and technological disruption, underlines the importance of building competitive regional clusters and generating an uplift in enterprise export competitiveness to secure sustainable jobs and growth.

3.5 National Strategic Outcome 6 – High-Quality International Connectivity

As an island, continued investment in our port and airport connections to the UK, the EU and the rest of the world, is integral to underpinning international competitiveness. It is also central to responding to the challenges as well as the opportunities arising from Brexit.

The Second Parallel Runway Project at Dublin Airport, will provide increased runway capacity and support wider economic development as part of Project Ireland 2040.

Dublin Port is progressing a c. €230 million infrastructural investment at the port to accommodate larger sea-going vessels and to increase capacity.

Irish Aviation Authority a new visual control tower at Dublin Airport is also in development to facilitate tower control services in a parallel runway environment.

3.6 National Strategic Outcome 7 – Enhanced Amenity and Heritage

Project Ireland 2040 recognises the value of cultural heritage as a key component of, and contributor to, the attractiveness and sustainability of our cities, towns, villages and rural areas in terms of developing cultural creative spaces, private inward investment, and attracting and retaining talent and enterprise.

The National Cultural Institutions will undertake a €460 million phased investment programme over ten years specifically focused on investment in Ireland’s iconic cultural centres. This will include renovation work on the National Library, National Archives and Natural History Museum.

Appraisal, planning and design work will also be delivered on flagship projects at the National Concert Hall, the Chester Beatty Library, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street and the National Theatre with a view to moving to the construction phase over the duration of the National Development Plan.

3.6 National Strategic Outcome 8 – Climate-Resilient Society

The National Planning Framework (NPF) highlights the centrality of this NSO to all other elements of spatial policy. The themes highlighted in the NPF are focused on the role of spatial policy in influencing where we live, where we work, and how we travel. These are all directly relevant to the pattern of energy use and in particular the current level of harmful greenhouse gas emissions to which Ireland is committed to achieving substantial reductions.

The first year of Project Ireland has also seen major investment by the commercial state sector in energy. EirGrid and ESB have two major investments planned in the area. The West Dublin Project is a proposed new electricity substation in the area of Grange Castle Business Park which will connect to the existing 220kV line that runs from Inchicore to Maynooth.

The Dublin North Fringe Project is the proposed development of a new 220kV electricity station to reinforce the supply of electricity to the Dublin north city and county area. From the Climate Action Fund, there has been an allocation of €20m to develop the Dublin District Heating System, utilising waste heat from the Poolbeg Incinerator to heat homes and businesses. Another €4.5m is being allocated to South Dublin County Council to develop a district heating system.

There are nineteen flood relief schemes currently underway or planned for the Dublin region, including schemes for the Camac, Dodder, Poddle and in the and areas. Four Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs) were established in 2018 to facilitate effective climate action at regional and local level. The CAROs are being operated by a lead Local Authority in four different regions around the country. The four Dublin Local Authority areas are covered by the Dublin Metropolitan Region CARO, which is operated by Dublin City Council.

Homes

Grants to improve home energy efficiency are available nationwide. A number of these were expanded in 2018, increasing the grant amounts available and introducing new grants for renewable heating systems in homes. Free home energy upgrades are also available to households on lower incomes.

Public Sector

Since 2017, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE) has funded two partnership pathfinder programmes – SEAI/DES Retrofit Programmes in schools and SEAI/OPW Retrofit Programme in OPW Buildings. These partnership programmes are delivering energy upgrades in central government buildings and in schools. The fundamental objective of each is to test approaches, build best practice and capacity, and develop a scalable model for large energy retrofit investment which can be replicated throughout the wider public sector and schools.

For 2018, €12.6m funding was provided which contributed to the retrofit of 69 buildings nationally, including those in table 10d.

3.9 National Strategic Outcome 9 – Sustainable Management of Water and other Environmental Resources

The National Planning Framework (NPF) highlights the centrality of our sustainable water resources to underpin our environmental and economic well-being into the future against the backdrop of the significant deficits in the capacity and quality of our current provision.

There are currently 31 water and waste water projects in progress in Dublin e.g. the Swords Sewerage Scheme and Wastewater Treatment Works that will deliver an upgraded wastewater treatment plant for Swords and its surrounding area which currently has an existing wastewater treatment plant that is operating above capacity. This newly upgraded plant will be capable of handling the area’s fast growing population but will also protect the Broadmeadow Estuary, a valuable local amenity.

3.10 National Strategic Outcome 10 – Access to Quality Childcare, Education and Health Services

Access to quality primary education, health services and childcare, relative to the scale of a region, city, town, neighbourhood or community is a defining characteristic of attractive, successful and competitive places. Project Ireland 2040 provides significant public investment in education and health infrastructure to meet current infrastructure needs, cater for an estimated population growth of one million and respond to Ireland’s changing demographic profile.
