This submission seeks to concentrate on ports, harbours and shipping and in particular the need to consider the influential and positive impact that a Tier 1 commercial port can have on the wider city-region economy. The inter-relationship between land and sea ‘planning’ needs to be enhanced, particularly having regard to infrastructure investments and transport connectivity. The National Planning Framework (NPF) needs to better understand this inter-relationship and use this understanding to guide spatial planning throughout the country. A tiered system of ports has been introduced in Ireland to facilitate more competitive and effective market for maritime transport services.

  • Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick Native I Feel Passionately About My Home
    Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick native I feel passionately about my home town, Limerick City. I applaud the efforts made by all those involved so far but feel that there should be significantly more ambition in terms of our housing and public transport networks. Limerick is at a size currently that allows us to plan for future growth, which is why we need to design and implement a light rail network now ahead of that growth, one which we can grow into in the future. I would implore you to design the city with a population of 300,000 in mind. I would also suggest and request that Limerick-Shannon, Cork and Waterford be allowed to update their MASPS as and when local development plans are put in place. For ease of reference I have attached a clean copy and marked up version of the Draft RSES which show my proposed and considered changes to the existing draft RSES. I trust you will take them under consideration. Thanking you in advance. Is mise le meas, p.s. I sent this email and its attachments from my personal account earlier today and also made a submission online. Apologies for the overlap. 1.0 | Introduction 1.1 | Overview Limerick City is the largest urban centre in Ireland’s Mid-West and the country’s third largest city. The NPF supports ambitious growth targets to enable Limerick City to grow by at least 50% to 2040 and to enhance its significant potential to become a city of scale. Shannon is a significant employment centre with assets such as Shannon International Airport, Shannon FreeZone and the International Aviation Services Centre (IASC).
