This development is within the vicinity of several establishments that fall within the scope of the Chemicals Act (Control of Major Accident Hazards Involving Dangerous Substances) Regulations, 2015 (the COMAH Regulations), in particulate the Calor establishment and the Indaver establishment, to the west of the development on the northern side of Tolka Quay Road. To support the development of the MP2 Project, RPS (Dublin Port Company’s planning advisors) requested Byrne Ó Cléirigh to conduct a COMAH land use planning assessment of the development. The purpose of the assessment is to examine the development in the context of the Health and Safety Authority’s COMAH land use planning guidance, to identify the types of development that may be compatible with the COMAH risk zones around the Calor (and other COMAH) establishment, and to conduct a high-level review of the Calor installation to ascertain whether the risk zones could be reduced. This report describes our assessment of the development and our conclusions as to the individual and societal risk presented to the development from the COMAH establishments. 2 PLANNING CONTEXT 2.1 Dublin City Development Plan In accordance with the Planning and Development Act, 2000, as amended, Dublin City Council (DCC) has prepared the latest version of its development plan: The Dublin City Development Plan 2016- 2022. Section 9.5.10 of the Plan (reproduced in Appendix 6) summarises the COMAH legislative regime and the role of the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) in providing advice to planning authorities. DCC also sets out its policy regarding developments of establishments that fall within the scope of the COMAH Regulations and developments near such establishments: It is the Policy of Dublin City Council: SI28: To have regard to the provisions For inspection of the purposes Major only.

  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

    Ireland ITF Presidency 2021 IRELAND – ITF PRESIDENCY 2021 A SHOWCASE OF TRANSPORT INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN IRELAND gov.ie Introduction Aerospace & Aviation This booklet showcases Irish Innovation in the Transport Sector both past and present. It provides a summary of how Irish entrepreneurs, companies and agencies have always been, and continue to be, at the forefront of designing and delivering innovative mobility solutions and new transport Roads Sustainable technologies. From the design of the world’s first dedicated & Freight Mobility passenger railway in 1884 to the opening of the Future Mobility Campus Ireland to test Autonomous Connected Electric Shared Vehicles (ACES)) in 2021. Smart Urban As we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and Mobility once more increase capacity on our public transport systems and unwind travel restrictions, innovative solutions will play a key role in allowing us to travel, safely and efficiently into the future. One such example was the pedestrianisation trials of the Grafton Street Area conducted by Dublin City Connected Maritime Council in 2020, which examined how we might redesign our Transport Transport urban spaces to allow citizens to travel more safely while also promoting active travel modes. Innovations will also play a crucial role in tackling the climate Research and crisis and in helping us to achieve our national objective of Manufacturing decarbonising the transport sector by 2050. An example of how new green technologies can be deployed to support decarbonisation came from An Post, who in 2020, became the world’s first postal service to attain zero carbon emission delivery status in a capital city.

    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol / The External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee Goblygiadau gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd i Borthladdoedd Cymru / The Implications of Brexit for Welsh Ports EAAL(5) 04POR Ymateb gan Irish Ferries / Evidence from Irish Ferries 1. Introduction. Irish Ferries have been invited to provide a written submission to this Committee on the implications of Brexit for ports in Wales and in that context, to respond to two key questions, which are; - What risks and opportunities does Brexit present for Welsh ports? - What steps should be taken, and by whom, to mitigate any risks and secure any benefits? It is important to note that Irish Ferries do not have a public position on this and are unlikely to do so until the outcome is more clearly defined. We have a responsibility to our shareholders and customers, to approach this in a measured way. At this very early stage in the Brexit process, any reports on the likely impact of Brexit in relation to international trade, and in turn its impact on trade through the ports in Wales, will inevitably contain a high degree of speculation. This report has been prepared in direct response to the request from the Committee, but is not intended to be the formal public position of Irish Ferries. Irish Ferries are members of the UK & Irish Chambers of Shipping and together with all of the other UK Ferry Operators, through the UK Chamber of Shipping, we have started the process of engaging with the UK Government Team, on the implications of BREXIT for our industry, to look for solutions, to facilitate and grow trade.
