Report: Volume 3 Part A of 6 6. Population and Human Health: Population This Chapter assesses the potential impacts of the Greater Dublin Drainage Project (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Project) on the human environment and quality of life in the general vicinity of the Proposed Project. The assessment considers attributes and characteristics associated with population, community and residential settlement, economic activities and employment, community infrastructure, and tourism and recreation. In the long term, the Proposed Project will have a positive impact by enabling the future development and expansion of population and residential housing to take place in Fingal and the Greater Dublin Area. There will also be positive impacts on social and commercial activity, for example in the creation of new employment opportunities, the increase in demands for materials and services and the economic benefits that will consequently arise – both at the Construction Phase and Operational Phase. There is potential for disruption to social and commercial activity arising from the Construction Phase of the Proposed Project, primarily because of temporary disturbance to the local minor roads. There will also be temporary disruption to some sporting and recreational facilities during the Construction Phase including the National Sports Campus, the ALSAA Sports Centre and to the recreational amenity of Velvet Strand Beach. However, with the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures, no significant residual impacts are anticipated to occur. Furthermore, a series of mitigation measures have been proposed to minimise adverse impacts on residents and businesses, including the appointment of a Community Liaison Officer, and a Fisheries Liaison Officer to minimise potential impacts on commercial and recreational fishing. Other mitigation measures include advance notifications to the owners of all residential/commercial/community properties; a dedicated Construction Phase Traffic Control and Management Plan to mitigate against potential traffic delays; alternative access arrangements; alternative and replacement sporting and leisure facilities and rehabilitation work at affected sites. 6.1 Introduction This Chapter assesses the impact of the Greater Dublin Drainage Project (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Project), both during the Construction Phase and Operational Phase, on the human environment and quality of life in the general area of the subject site(s) for the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project will form a significant component of a wider strategy to meet future wastewater treatment requirements within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) as identified in a number of national, regional and local planning policy documents. The plant, equipment, buildings and systems associated with the Proposed Project will be designed, equipped, operated and maintained in such a manner to ensure a high level of energy performance and energy efficiency. The table below includes a summary of the Proposed Project elements. A full description of the Proposed Project is detailed within Volume 2 Part A, Chapter 4 Description of the Proposed Project, of this Environmental

  • 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. Daniel McLoughlin, Chief Executive, South Dublin County Council September 2014 3 Table of Contents Introduction 6 Population & Housing

  • Dublin Ireland: a City Addressing Challenging Water Supply, Management, and Governance Issues
    Copyright © 2014 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Kelly-Quinn, M., S. Blacklocke, M. Bruen, R. Earle, E. O'Neill, J. O'Sullivan, and P. Purcell. 2014. Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues. Ecology and Society 19(4): 10. http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ ES-06921-190410 Research, part of a Special Feature on Urban Water Governance Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues Mary Kelly-Quinn 1, Sean Blacklocke 2, Michael Bruen 2, Ray Earle 3, Eoin O'Neill 4, John O'Sullivan 2 and Patrick Purcell 2 ABSTRACT. 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.
