    Local News Update

    Kevin Humphreys TD LOCAL NEWS UPDATE Working with Cllr. Dermot Lacey DODDER FLOOD RELIEF WORKS The long sought after Dodder Flood Relief works took an important step forward when at their July meeting the City Council adopted the proposals to continue the measures all the way from Ballsbridge to Clonskeagh Bridge. This was proposed by the Labour Group Leader Dermot Lacey. Councillor Dermot Lacey and Deputy Kevin Humphreys have championed these measures with Kevin pursuing the funding in the Dáil and Dermot pressing for the Plan to be agreed at Council level. The simple truth is that the people who live along the Dodder have been denied a safe environment for too long – that is now about to be changed. Working together and with the different Residents Associations along the Dodder and other Public Representatives, Dermot and Kevin have secured a scheme that provides direct flood alleviation, protects the environment of the Dodder and its built heritage. This includes raising the wall with stone and glass panels along Beatty Avenue and Dodder View Cottages, wall strengthening and raising of same along the Anglesea Road stretch and with a new raised seating area along Herbert Park. From Donnybrook Bridge to Clonskeagh there will be a mixture of new walls and protective higher embankments. A core principle of the scheme is to enable the eventual creation of a linear walkway the entire length of the River. Work will commence immediately and is expected to be completed by the middle of 2015. Delivering this long awaited scheme is an example of what Politicians can do through Cllr Dermot Lacey and Deputy Kevin Humphreys working together and working with communities.

    Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Regional Planning Guidelines For The Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022 Prepared by: The Regional Planning Guidelines Office, Dublin Regional Authority Mid-East Regional Authority 15th of June 2010 Foreword The review period for the Regional Planning Guidelines has come at a time of change – changes in global and national economics, changes in planning and environmental legislation and changes in the political structures to deliver on national goals. This time of transition presents new challenges in the way we plan for our future and offers opportuni- ties to examine innovative ways and means of achieving a bright future for the citizens of Greater Dublin. The Regional Planning Guidelines set out the planned direction for growth within the Greater Dublin Area up to 2022 by giving regional effect to national planning policy under the National Spatial Strategy (NSS). These Guidelines also have a crucial role in supporting regionally important infrastructure and the investment priorities of the National Development Plan and Transport 21. This is the second time that Regional Planning Guidelines (RPGs) have been prepared for the Dublin and Mid East Regions and cover the 12 year period from 2010 to 2022. The Regional Planning Guidelines build upon the experience and progress made under the previous Guidelines and establish new and innovative policy ideas to guide sustainable and balanced growth throughout the Greater Dublin Area. An integrated model of policy development is a key component of the RPGs, with economic, infrastructure and set- tlement policies being interdependent. This is complemented by new approaches to environmental and social policy which incorporates themes of green infrastructure development, climate change, flood risk management and social inclusion.

    How Ireland's Democracy Works and Why Elections Cannot Be Stolen - the Evidence Countday Live Blog Irish Elections 6 June-8 June 2009

    How Ireland's Democracy Works and Why Elections Cannot be Stolen - the evidence Countday Live Blog Irish Elections 6 June-8 June 2009 1 In Irish democratic elections a system of 'tallying' has been developed which has the effect of making fraudulent elections almost impossible. As ballot boxes are gathered together into the count centres, in full view of the 'tallymen' each ballot box in turn is emptied of its votes. The official vote counters then assemble, again in full view of the 'tallymen' each ballot paper into neat piles. While this is done the tallymen note where the votes on each ballot paper have been allocated on a piece of paper using a simple signage system perfected several centuries ago. Once the vote counters have assembled all the votes from all the ballot papers into neat piles and reconciled the number of ballot papers which should be in a ballot box with the number which actually are the real counting takes place. Normally by this time the tallymen's assembled tallies have been computed together and provided each ballot box has had at least 50 of its votes counted a relatively reliable outcome to the election can be provided, usually within an hour of the ballot boxes being opened. Each political party participates in this process and shares resources so that the Tallies, which provide invaluable intelligence to political parties as to which streets exactly votes in which quantities for their candidates (each ballot box will correspond to a known set of streets within a constituency), are shared. As the counters begin the official votes counting tallying continues usually to work out where the voters preferences are falling and who therefore among the candidates who has not reached the quota will get elected next.
