Major Roads Projects Active List Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) September 2020 Foreword Major Roads Projects Active List Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) September 2020 Foreword Photo of Michael Nolan I am pleased to introduce TII’s Major Roads Projects Active List, the authoritative guide to the major roads projects’ falling under this capital investment programme over the coming years. TII performs an essential role in the delivery of transport infrastructure in Ireland, of which the national primary and secondary road networks have a significant function. The upgrade, maintenance and development of Ireland’s road network is a critical enabler of economic growth, as well as enabling the realisation of some of the National Strategic Outcomes and Strategic Investment Priorities of the National Development Plan and the National Planning Framework. It has been said that roads represent the first “social network”. They are fundamental building blocks for economic growth, access to services and social cohesion and support the transition to a low carbon future. The NPF recognises the need to rebalance opportunity by enhancing regional accessibility and strengthening rural economies and communities. Another determinant in seeking to upgrade sections of the unimproved roads network is to reduce the risk and number of collisions, injuries and deaths on our road infrastructure. Ireland has witnessed the upgrade of significant parts of the road network; however, unimproved sections are experiencing substantial numbers of people being seriously injured or killed, with increasing numbers of head-on collisions on our single carriageway national primary roads. I welcome the development of this first edition of the Active List. This list includes a one-page summary for each project setting out its national significance. A project is nationally significant where the investment will have a real impact on national output by: 1. Addressing a problem that imposes economic, social, and environmental costs; or Michael Nolan 2. Providing an opportunity to realise economic, social, or environmental benefits; or 3. Both addressing any of these problems and providing one or many of a range of opportunities. The Active List is maintained and developed by TII and will explain the national significance of each element of the national roads CEO investment programme and why the project is worth progressing through the development stages.

The Active List projects offer many benefits to the lives and safety of the population of Ireland and underpins a range of Government policies. They help: • Save lives and reduce road collisions through the provision of a safer road network; • Enable mobility, including the movement of freight and public transport throughout Ireland; • Facilitate regional development, tourism and economic investment; • Remove traffic congestion from towns and villages throughout the country; • Improve environmental conditions; and • Reduce the cost of travel to business and individuals. This document provides evidence-based advice to support an informed national conversation about Ireland’s road network.

  • The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development Vs. Heritage
    L . o . 4 .0 «? ■ U i H NUI MAYNOOTH Qll*c«il n> h£jf**nn Ml Nuad The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development vs. Heritage. Edel Reynolds 2005 Supervisor: Dr. Ronan Foley Head of Department: Professor James Walsh Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. (Geographical Analysis), Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. Abstract This thesis is about the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to investigate the planning process. It has been found that both the planning process and the Environmental Impact Assessment system in Ireland is inadequate. Another aspect of the conflict that was explored was the issue of insiders and outsiders. Through the examination of both quantitative and qualitative data, the conclusion has been reached that the majority of insiders, people from the Tara area, do in fact want the M3 to be built. This is contrary to the idea that was portrayed by the media that most people were opposed to the construction of the motorway. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ronan Foley, for all of his help and guidance over the last few months. Thanks to my parents, Helen and Liam and sisters, Anne and Nora for all of their encouragement over the last few months and particularly the last few days! I would especially like to thank my mother for driving me to Cavan on her precious day off, and for calming me down when I got stressed! Thanks to Yvonne for giving me the grand tour of Cavan, and for helping me carry out surveys there.
