    A Vision of South Dublin's Future Final.Indd

    A VISION FOR SOUTH DUBLIN’S FUTURE 2 Chief Executive’s Invitation The review of the County Development Plan and the preparation of a new Plan is one of the most important functions of South Dublin County Council. The South Dublin County Council Development Plan 2016-2022 will set out a vision for South Dublin’s future to 2022 and beyond. The review has come at a time of change. Following a period of economic contraction the outlook for the period of the next Plan is more positive. This time of transition and renewed growth presents new challenges in the way we plan for our future and offers opportunities to examine innovative ways and means of achieving a brighter future for the citizens of South Dublin County. The publication of this booklet “A Vision for South Dublin’s Future” is the fi rst step in the plan making process. The booklet presents an overview of the main development issues currently impacting on South Dublin County and identifi es the kind of planning matters that the next County Development Plan could address. We have attempted to highlight the issues that we think are important but this list is by no means exhaustive. Now we want to hear from you. Have we overlooked issues, which are of importance to you? If so we need to know what these are. Public input at the start of the plan making process is important so that the fi nal Plan can refl ect and respond to public concerns and aspirations.

The population of Dublin City and its suburbs currently stands at 1.3 million and is projected to reach 2.1 million by 2022. There is pressure on its water supply system (inadequate catchment sources, ageing infrastructure including treatment facilities, and distribution network) with little or no spare capacity despite Ireland’s relatively high rainfall that is well distributed throughout the year; albeit the greatest rainfall occurs in the west and southwest and at some remove from Dublin. The current governance approach to addressing the projected water supply deficit relies heavily on a combination of identifying new supply sources to secure the long-term water supply needs of the city together with an intense drive toward achieving “demand-side” reduced usage and conservation targets in accordance with EU benchmarks for various individual and sectoral users. This potentially emerging crisis of water scarcity in Dublin, with drivers including population growth, greater industrial and institutional demands, migration, and climate change, has generated one of the most significant public water works projects proposed in Irish history, which is to abstract raw water from the Shannon River Basin in the midland region and, following treatment, pump it to a storage reservoir in a cut-away bog before piping to the Greater Dublin Area.

Road upgrades are over a distance of 2.1km and include improving road paving, footpaths-cycleways and kerbing realignment. The present R132 is the previous N1 Dublin-Belfast road via Drogheda and has been extensively widened and straightened in the later 20th C. Since the opening of the M1 in 2002, further traffic calming measures, footpaths and central reservations have been installed. There are four significant R132 straightening sections involving cut-off sections of the old road and the whole R132 has been widened over any previous roadside ditches and grass verges and almost all of the present roadside boundary is recent (apart from the cut-off sections).
