Project Ireland 2040 This document sets out the projects and programmes which are being planned and delivered in the South-West as part of the public investment detailed in Project Ireland 2040 - the Government’s National Planning Framework and National Development Plan. Project Ireland 2040 set out ten National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs), built around the over-arching themes of well-being, equality and opportunity. This document sets out the main achievements under each NSO in 2019 for the South-West region. These documents serve to highlight the diverse range of investment being made by the State across the country under Project Ireland 2040 – a list of the major projects in the South-West is contained in the Appendix. The document draws on information from a wide range of publicly available sources, as well as material provided by Government Departments and Agencies. 2. Regional City: Cork City and Metropolitan Area Project Ireland 2040 seeks to develop our regional towns and cities as viable urban centres of scale, which can act as alternatives and a counterbalance to the continued growth of Dublin and its surrounding region. In doing so, these cities and regional towns will act as drivers of growth for their wider region and rural areas. Project Ireland 2040 envisages the population of Cork City and Suburbs to grow by between 105,000 - 125,000 people (50-60%) by 2040. In keeping with the vision of compact smart growth, 50% of new city housing will be within the existing Cork City and Suburbs footprint. 2 | P a g e Project Ireland 2040 in the South-West – 2019 Progress Report 3. Progress against National Strategic Outcomes 3.1 National Strategic Outcome 1 – Compact Growth This outcome aims to secure the sustainable growth of more compact urban and rural settlements supported by jobs, houses, services and amenities, rather than continued sprawl and unplanned, uneconomic growth. There were 3,996 social housing new builds in the South-West in 2019, with more planned in 2020. In line with the national increase in new houses being built, there were 1,036 new dwelling completions in the South-West in 2019.

In the South-West, these include: Cork City and Metropolitan Area, Killarney, Tralee, Carrigaline, Midleton, Mallow and Cobh, amongst others. The URDF is a key part of Project Ireland 2040 with a total budget of €2 billion over the period to 2027. The aim of the URDF is to stimulate new residential and commercial development in our larger cities and towns. New services and amenities will support these new developments, and help achieve the ‘compact growth’ that was set out in Project Ireland 2040. 3 | P a g e Project Ireland 2040 in the South-West – 2019 Progress Report In total, there were 15 successful applicants from the South-West for the first round of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund in 2018.

  • Pedestrian and Cycle Route from Ballinacurra to Midleton
    Transport & Mobility Forum Senior Engineer Cork County Council Traffic and Transportation, Floor 11, County Hall, Cork Transport and Mobility Forum, Cork Via online consultation portal www.transportandmobilityforum.com [email protected] c/o Cork Environmental Forum Bernadette Connolly Mount Carmel, Kilcolman Enniskeane, Co. Cork P47 C578 23rd December 2020 PART 8 Public Consultation – Response Pedestrian and Cycle Route from Ballinacurra to Midleton Dear Sir/Madam, The Transport and Mobility Forum, Cork (TMF) is a representative group of organisations who have a common interest in sustainable travel *. The TMF fully supports sustainable modes of travel measures and policies. Sustainable and Active Travel (walking and cycling) helps reduce congestion on roads, improve air quality, supports a low carbon economy, reduces noise pollution and improves public health. The TMF welcomes and supports the proposed plans outlined in this scheme in their provision of active travel infrastructure in Midleton. This scheme helps realise the objectives outlined in national (NDP, NPF, Climate Action Plan, SDGs), regional (RSES South) and local (CMATS, County Development Plan) plans, policies and strategies. We commend Cork County Council for its vision for the East Cork area and look forward to the positive impact this and other complimentary schemes (Midleton- Youghal Greenway, Bury’s Bridge to Carrigtwohill cycleway, the N25 Transport Corridor upgrade and the Midleton Town Urban Regeneration Scheme) will have on the local community and hinterland. There is great potential for Midleton to become a model town in County Cork for sustainable mobility and high quality public realm and this scheme is an essential step towards that goal. Its rail connection to key employment areas such as Carrigtwohill, Little Island and Cork city offers commuters an alternative to long and stressful commutes via the N25.

  • Pds-Family-Bulletin-Sept-2020
    Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Progressing Disability Services (PDS) for Children & Young People (0-18 Years) FAMILY BULLETIN September 2020 The ‘Progressing Services for Children and Young People’ Programme aims to achieve a national unified approach to delivering children’s disability health services. The central focus of this programme is to provide a clear pathway to services regardless of where a child lives, goes to school, or the nature of their disability or delay. At present there are some very good services for children with disabilities and their families but also some large gaps. There may be a service for children with a physical disability in a locality, but none for children with an intellectual disability. Some children and their families have little or no access to services. We need a fairer way to provide services for children with disabilities Access to services should be based on a child’s needs rather than just on their diagnosis Children and families should have services available wherever they live Some children may have their needs supported by their local Primary Care services. A Children’s Disability Network Team will support children with more complex needs in a defined geographic area, regardless of the nature of their disability. A national programme called ‘Progressing Disability Services for Children & Young People’ is changing the way services are provided across the country to make it equitable and consistent for all. This is the first in a series of regular bulletins, which will keep you informed of the HSE’s National Programme Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People, changes that will occur within children’s disability services in the Cork area and how this might impact you and your child.

  • Topical Issue Debate with Minister Ross
    Topical Issue Debate Transport Infrastructure Provision 3:00 pm Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) Link to this: Individually | In context | Oireachtas source I welcome the opportunity to speak to this matter. The R630 is a regional road linking Whitegate with the N25, a national primary road at Midleton, and Lakeview roundabout in east Cork, which serves the Cork to Rosslore Europort via Waterford city. This regional road from Whitegate also carries traffic from adjoining areas such as Upper Aghada, Lower Aghada, Rostellan, Saleen, Ballycotton, Clyne and Ballinacurra, just to mention a few locations. Whitegate village can boast to be the home of the only oil refinery in Ireland but the most startling fact is that it accounts for over 40% of Cork's road tonnage, and it travels on the R630 all year around. There is also Aghada power station, which is Ireland's largest, and this means the regional route is extremely busy. The Minister can understand why. Unfortunately, all this traffic must enter the N25 at Lakeview roundabout at Midleton, which is constantly choked with long tailbacks every morning. Midleton town council had approached what was then the National Roads Authority, now Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, a number of years ago about having an extra slip lane at the junction between the R630 Whitegate route and the N25 to alleviate this very problem. Unfortunately, over the years nothing has happened. The commuters who use this route day in and day out have grown very frustrated with the lack of progress. More worrying is the question of safety in the area, particularly with regard to emergency services and the ambulance service in Midleton.
