Masterplan - Holy Cross College SHD, Drumcondra 1.1 Purpose of the Masterplan CWTC Multi Family ICAV acting on behalf of its sub-fund DBTR DR1 Fund in conjunction with the GAA have worked together to produce the Masterplan for the Clonliffe College lands as required by the Z12 zoning of the lands in Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022. The Masterplan seeks to set out the future development framework for the Clonliffe College lands to ensure the successful delivery of a co-ordinated development in accordance with the Z12 zoning which takes cognisance of a number of key stakeholders such as The Archdiocese of Dublin, Belvedere College, Mater Dei Institute of Education and the local communities, in addition to CWTC Multi Family ICAV acting on behalf of its sub-fund DBTR DR1 Fund and the GAA. The aim of the Masterplan is to provide the framework for the sensitive transition of the lands to realise the potential of this underutilised, but nevertheless, important area in Drumcondra. The overriding vision of the Masterplan is to create a legible, easy to navigate, and welcoming piece of city that is pleasant to use, recognise and incorporates the history of the lands and associated built heritage and benefits from identifiable new buildings and public spaces. In accordance with the Z12 zoning, the Masterplan sets out the framework for development across the lands through public amenity spaces, potential for residential development, hierarchy of public and private realm, heights, massing and approach to materiality. Furthermore this document intends to describe how the development will connect with and enhance the surrounding communities, both in terms of movement and enjoyment of public amenity. This Masterplan seeks to address the key concerning principles for future development. The implementation of the framework set out in the Masterplan will be by way of planning applications by the relevant landowners.

RICHMOND ROAD These lands are a combination of the Z12 zoned lands and the LEGEND: Z9 green network which stretches along the banks of the Tolka, with a small portion of the joint development site straddling the boundary to Z1 lands. Whilst the statutory basis for the preparation of the Masterplan relates to the Z12 lands, considering the sites’ relationship to the Z9 lands which straddle the River Tolka, and the TOLKA RIVER opportunity to provide for an open space network on the site which links in to the River Tolka, the extension of the Masterplan to include the adjacent portion of Z9 lands is considered to be logical and appropriate. These lands are covered under the Joint Development Boundary, referred to on the adjacent diagram. DRUMCONDRA ROAD The lands subject to the Z12 Masterplan (the area bounded by solid Masterplan Z12 Boundary blue lines ) are set out on the accompanying map total 14.5 ha.

    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

  • Na Fianna Nuacht
    Na Fianna Nuacht Senior Camogie Team In Championship Final Following last Sunday’s fantastic semi-final win over St Vincents, our Senior Camogie team play St Judes in Division 1 Championship on Final, this Sunday at 3.30pm in St Peregrines and they’re looking for you your support. This is Na Fianna's second Senior Camogie Championship final appearance in two years, and it’s great to be back again. Camogie has gone through a very strong revival in Na Fianna in recent times with playing numbers at all levels increasing year on year. Na Fianna has four adult teams in Championship reflecting the strong growth of Camogie in the club. One would have to go back to the days of twelve a-side Camogie to find a time when Na Fianna last fielded four competitive adult teams. Sunday’s Senior squad and their success in getting to another Championship final is a tribute to this unique set of players who have played together and played for each other over the last while. The team has had a few retirees and injuries from last year's finalists so as a result it is a much younger team. The squad is a very good mix of established players and young players at the very start of their adult playing career. Special credit and thanks goes to Senior Management team of Brendan Skehan, Fiona Greene, Darragh Muleady, David Hughes, Fran Gray, Dee Quinn and Austin Rock who have worked tirelessly with this group of players. All in Na Fianna wish the Ladies and the management team the very best of luck Na Fianna Nuacht 19ú Deireadh Fómhair 2018 1 Na Fianna Nuacht Weekend Fixtures Our AFL8’s play Peregrines in Blanchardstown IT this Friday at 8pm.
