They are in close proximity to: Rail and road public transport services. Roads infrastructure Expanding wastewater services Public amenity facilities Established and newly forming communities The lands are situated approximately 5km northwest of Dublin City Centre and are approximately 8km south of Dublin Airport. The wider land bank that the lands are situated in is one of the largest undeveloped land banks in close proximity to Dublin City Centre. While the subject lands and the wider area are within the M50 ring and are considered to be in Dublin City, they are under the administrative control of Fingal County Council. In the preparation of the Draft Development Plan 2017-2023 Fingal County Council have followed the strategic planning guidance set out in the Regional Planning Guidelines document. This regional policy advises Local Authorities to set out a settlement hierarchy for the County and to zone land to cater for expansion. Fingal have focussed their development around their designated centres with Blanchardstown and Swords at the top of their settlement hierarchy and zoned lands around these settlements. They have also zoned a land bank of 221 ha at Lissenhall, Swords for future development. This outcome to an extent represents the inefficient use of existing and proposed infrastructure within the ‘Dublin City’ Region. It fails to take cognisance of the policies of the Dublin City Development Plan, the adjoining authority, which seeks to expand in a high density compact form and further rescinds the opportunity to work in tandem with an adjoining Local Authority to achieve a common objective in line with the strategic guidance of the Eastern and Midlands Regional Assembly, as encompassing the former Greater Dublin Regional Authority. It is submitted that Dublin City lands, including the subject lands, should be at the top of the settlement hierarchy for Fingal County Council. This step would allow Fingal County Council to zone lands to facilitate the expansion of Dublin City as settlement at the fringe of Fingal County. The prioritisation of the development of these lands is justified due to their proximity to existing physical and transport infrastructure and their potential to create sustainable development to facilitate the expansion of the compact city form currently advocated by Dublin City Council planning policy. The evidence of the compact city reaching its outer limit is immediately apparent at Pelletstown which adjoins Scribblestown to the south west. It is further submitted that the current zoning of the lands for recreation and open space is not wholly justified firstly because the subject lands can be serviced and made ready for development and secondly because there is already a sufficient quantum of recreation and amenity space in the vicinity of the lands in this area. It is therefore submitted that there would not be a negative impact on recreation and amenity in the area if residential development was to take place. In view of the above it is submitted that steps need to be taken to amend the Fingal settlement hierarchy and to prepare a masterplan or local area plan for the subject lands and the wider area during the period of the next Development Plan 2017-2023 to ensure their sequential release for development in the short to medium term and inevitably to assist in the shortage of housing in the Dublin area. DRAFT FINGAL COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017-2023 3 SUBMISSION – LANDS AT SCRIBBLESTOWN, DUBLIN 15 THE PLANNING PARTNERSHIP FOR VERSONWOOD C/O DUFF & PHELPS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Planning Partnership on behalf of our clients Versonwood Ltd, c/o Duff & Phelps (Ireland) Ltd., have prepared this submission to the Draft Fingal County Development Plan 2017-2023. Whilst the submission concerns lands (circa 40 hectares) within our Clients ownership that are located at Scribblestown, nr. Ashtown, Dublin 15 it also relates to a larger strategic landmass principally surrounding the lands outlined in red on the extract from the Zoning Map on the cover page and above. 2.0 SITE LOCATION The lands are located at Scribblestown and Dunsink approximately 5km northwest of Dublin City Centre. The lands are enclosed by the M50 motorway to the northwest. The district of Finglas is situated to the east with Pelletstown and Castleknock to the south. The lands are also in proximity to Blanchardstown to the west on the far side of the M50. The lands are approximately 38 hectares in area. 2.2 Amenity There is an amenity/ parkland corridor running east-west to the south of the lands through the Tolka Valley. The parkland is landscaped and maintained at Pelletstown but becomes more wild and unmaintained as you approach Scribblestown. There is definite scope to continue to formalise the landscape and accessibility to the Tolka Valley Park at the Scribblestown end, for an amenity parkland to provide residential amenity to communities on both sides of the river valley. 2.1 Transport There is a public transport corridor running east west to the south of the lands formed by the Maynooth commuter railway line. There is also a Quality Bus Corridor which runs to Blanchardstown running along this axis. There is a long term objective to develop a Metro Line called Metro West running south-north to the west of the site on the west side of the M50 with a station at Tolka Valley. The lands are less than a kilometre from the Blanchardstown M50 interchange providing good access to many parts of the city and outlying areas including Dublin Airport (8km away) and suburban areas including Swords and Blanchardstown. The former Dunsink Landfill is located to the north of the lands. It is understood that these lands are in the ownership of Fingal County Council. It is noted that there is an objective in the current Fingal Development Plan to develop a DRAFT FINGAL COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017-2023 4 SUBMISSION – LANDS AT SCRIBBLESTOWN, DUBLIN 15 THE PLANNING PARTNERSHIP FOR VERSONWOOD C/O DUFF & PHELPS Regional Park at this location. It is submitted that these lands have the potential to serve as a community amenity area 2.3 Infrastructure accessible to both the subject lands and the district of Finglas to the north and east. The Greater Dublin Drainage project aims to provide extra wastewater treatment capacity for the Dublin region. The route of the Orbital sewer that is part of this project runs to the northwest of the lands at Scribblestown. Irish Water is managing the planning stages of the Greater Dublin Drainage project which involves the preparation of a planning application to be submitted towards the end of 2016 to the independent planning authority, An Bord Pleanala for its adjudication. The lands are also in close proximity to the 9C Trunk Sewer which runs west east to the south of the site terminating at Ringsend Wastewater treatment plant. Figure:2.1 Dublin Sewer Map Elmgreen Golf Course is located to the west of the subject lands and constitutes a fully operational semi-private amenity Source: Greater Dublin Drainage Project space in the neighbourhood.

  • A2241: Clusters with Head-Tails at X-Rays L. Norci
    A2241: CLUSTERS WITH HEAD-TAILS AT X-RAYS L. NORCI Dunsink Observatory Castleknock, Dublin 15, Ireland L. FERETTI Istituto di Radio Astronomia Via Gobetti 101, 1-40129 Bologna, Italy AND E.J.A. MEURS Dunsink Observatory Castleknock, Dublin 15, Ireland Abstract. A ROSAT Ρ SPC image of the galaxy cluster Abell 2241 has been obtained, showing X-ray emission from the intracluster medium and from individual objects. The brightness distribution of the cluster gas is used to assess the physical conditions at the location of two tailed radio galaxies (in A2241E and A2241W, at different redshifts). Together with radio and X-ray information on the two galaxies themselves the results are of relevance to the question of energy equipartition in radio sources. 1. Background A cluster intergalactic medium plays an important role in determining the morphology and evolution of radio sources. The external gas can interact with a radio source in different ways: confining the source, modifying the source morphology via ram-pressure and possibly feeding the active nucleus. We have obtained ROSAT X-ray data of the region of the cluster Abell 2241, which was previously studied by Bijleveld & Valentijn (1982). A2241 was originally classified as an irregular galaxy cluster, until redshift mea- surements showed it to consist of two separate clusters projected onto each other: A2241W and A2241E, located at redshifts of 0.0635 and 0.1021, respectively. 361 R.

  • Long Propagation Periods of Residuals in the Motion of a Comet
    LONG PROPAGATION PERIODS OF RESIDUALS IN THE MOTION OF A COMET T. Kiang Dunsink Observatory, Castleknock, County Dublin, Ireland. P/Halley In a previous paper (Kiang 1973), I derived a differential equation which governs the behaviour of the residual 0 - C in the time of perihelion passage of a comet. The work was stimulated by the discovery (Brady 1972) that a long periodicity of about 600 years seemed to be present in the residual for P/Halley. The derivation was based on the following assumptions: 1. The system consists of only the Sun, Jupiter and P/Halley, and Jupiter is assumed to move in a circular orbit with a period P'=11.8614 yr. 2. P/Halley is assumed to move in a fixed Keplerian orbit with a period P= (13/2) P' exactly, so that the whole system is strictly recurrent with a period PQ =13 P' = 154.198 yr. A fixed Keplerian orbit is, of course, not a rigorous solution of the restricted problem of three bodies, but it is a simplifying assumption that made the derivation of the differential equation possible. The result was a second-order differential equation with periodic coefficients of period PQ. It was readily reduced to the standard form of a Hill's equation (Hill 1886), the solution of which consists essentially in the evaluation of Hill's exponent c. In the practical soiution of the equation, the following should be noted: 1. The coefficients of the equation are ultimately based on the values of the partial derivatives, with respect to Jupiter's longitude A', of the rate of change of the mean motion n and of the mean anomaly M due to the action of Jupiter, through a whole recurrence period.
