  • 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).

  • THE SHANNON SCHEME and ITS EFFECT on the SHANNON FISHERIES Andrew Reale
    THE SHANNON SCHEME AND ITS EFFECT ON THE SHANNON FISHERIES Andrew Reale With Thanks to Limerick Civic Trust, and FÁS. This unpublished document is the result of research carried out by Andrew Reale when working as a researcher with the History and Folklore Project, Limerick Civic Trust (September 2009 – March 2011) Project Coordinator: David Lee Assistant Coordinator: Debbie Jacobs 1 Introduction In 1922 Ireland went through dramatic changes, the withdrawal of British gave the Irish nation a chance to initiate programs that would change Ireland forever. One of the most important projects was the erection of a Hydro-Electric dam at Ardnacrusha, this project would prove innovative and a catalyst for the economic growth of the nation. As a rural nation in the 1900s many Irish people on the lower Shannon gained their living from farming or fishing; places like Castleconnell and Killaloe had vibrant angling tourism industries and it’s clear that anyone involved in fisheries in the region enjoyed economic security. The Shannon also contributed to the richness of the soil along its banks and riverside farms and gardens were very productive. Today it’s easy to forget that the Shannon Salmon generated huge financial returns for Fisheries owners, in the 1930’s the management of the Lower Shannon Fisheries was directed by the Limerick Board of Fishery Conservators. The Board was responsible for policing and directing fisheries polices in the Limerick region, and were involved in the fishery until 1934 when Minister Sean Lemass introduced the Shannon Fisheries Bill to Dáil Éireann. It was proposed that the Electricity Supply Board would in future be responsible for the management of the fisheries of the River Shannon.

Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC) are the key structure identified by Government to plan and co-ordinate services for children and young people in every county in Ireland. The Clare CYPSC was established in December 2016 and we are still getting organised. The overall purpose of the committee is to improve outcomes for children and young people, aged between 0 – 24 years, through local and national interagency working. The committee provides a forum for joint planning to ensure that children, young people and their families receive improved and accessible services. The work of the Clare CYPSC over the past year has involved an extensive research and consultation process to gather information from children, parents and professionals about the key needs and challenges they for children and young people linked to the 5 nationals outcomes set out in Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures National Policy Framework 2014-2020. As part of the research process commenced this year, the Clare CYPSC commissioned this report from the All Ireland Research Observatory (AIRO). The report provides a detailed mapping and statistical analysis of the socio-demographic trends in Co. Clare. The report focuses on children and young people’s data with five sections comprising: Demography, Economy, Education, Health and Security.

  • Planning a Better Region: It's Everyone's Business
    Submission on the Proposed Material Amendments Planning a better region: It’s everyone’s business Response to the proposed material amendments to the Draft Southern Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy October 2019 0 Ibec, October 2019 Introduction: Ibec in the Southern Region Ibec is a national organisation with a strong regional structure. This includes a network of eight regions, with members supported by six Ibec offices across the country. Ibec’s regional network ensures that members are serviced regionally in addition to Ibec’s national and international services. A key driver of regional business priorities are the Ibec Regional Executive Committees. Ibec Regional Executive Committees are made up of nominees from Ibec member companies operating within the regions including both multinational and indigenous companies and reflect the diversity of business in terms of business sectors and company size. The committees work to shape, guide and influence business policy priorities for the regions that contribute to sustainable economic growth and employment. Ibec Regional Executive Committees are led by a Regional President. Regional Presidents are also members of the Ibec National Council which provides an important point of contact between the organisation and the respective regions. Three of Ibec’s Regional Executive Committees (Cork, Mid West & Kerry and the South East) cover the same geographic area as the Southern Region. Each Regional Executive Committee has actively participated throughout the development of the National Planning Framework. Our members views and experiences across each region have been developed this response to the initial public and stakeholder consultation issues paper on the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy.

  • Siemens Company History Phase 1
    Opening of the hydro power plant in Shannon July 22, 1929 Ireland was almost “untouched by electric power” in the early 1920’s outside of a few larger cities such as Dublin and Cork. The total capacity of all public electric plants was around 27,000 kilowatts (kW). The Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) had almost no coal deposits, so the ambition was to use domestic water General view of the Ardnacrusha power for electrification and economic hydroelectric power plant on the development of the country. Back then, some Shannon, 1929 three million people lived in the area that was to be supplied with power, which, at 70,000 square kilometers, was about the size of Bavaria. The idea of harnessing the energy from the lower part of the River Shannon, with its steep fall, originated with Thomas McLaughlin, an Irish physicist and electrical engineer who had worked at Siemens-Schuckertwerke (SSW) in Berlin starting in late 1922. With the support of hydroelectric power experts from Siemens, he convinced the Irish government that the project was technically and economically feasible. The initial talks between Siemens and government representatives of the Irish Free State began in early 1924, and the German electrical engineering company was asked to prepare proposals on power generation Thomas Anthony McLaughlin, and distribution. undated © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history Frankfurt. This project was the company’s first great success story, attract-ing widespread attention because of its link to a major political Siemens submitted a comprehensive project plan on October 1, 1924.
