Footway Interim Works: Bull Road to Causeway Road Cycleway Consulting Engineers Dublin City Council 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Roughan & O’Donovan Consulting Engineers (ROD) was appointed by Dublin City Council (DCC) to undertake the options study, preliminary design and detailed design of the Sutton to Sandycove (S2S) Cycleway and Footway, Interim Works between Bull Road (Wooden Bridge) and Causeway Road. This report has been prepared to determine the potential effects, if any, of the proposed scheme on nearby sites with European conservation designations (i.e Natura 2000 sites). The purpose of this assessment is to determine the appropriateness, or otherwise, of the proposal in the context of the conservation status of such sites. The proposed Sutton to Sandycove Cycleway and Footway Interim Works : Bull Road to Wooden Bridge is a 2km cycle track which will provide the missing link in an overall 8km cycle track around North Dublin Bay. This is an Interim Scheme comprising of elements of two projects, the Dollymount Promenade & Flood Protection Project (DPFPP) and the North City Arterial Watermain (NCAM), both of which have planning approval from An Bord Pleanála. Both projects were also separately assessed in terms of the EU Habitats Directive and were concluded to have no significant effects on the Natura 2000 Sites and were assessed as having no adverse effect on the integrity of any of the Natura 2000 sites. 1.2 The Requirement for an Assessment under Article 6 The requirement for Appropriate Assessment is set out in the EU Habitats Directive (92/34/EEC) in Article 6.3 which states: “Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the [Natura 2000] site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, shall be subjected to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives.” The Habitats Directive is transposed in Ireland by the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations, 2011 (consolidating the European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations 1997 to 2005 and the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) (Control of Recreational Activities) Regulations 2010, as well as addressing transposition failures identified in recent CJEU Judgements) (hereafter referred to as the Habitats Regulations) and the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act, 2010 1.3 The Aim of this Report This Screening for Appropriate Assessment (Stage 1) has been prepared in accordance with current guidance and provides an ecological impact assessment for the proposed scheme. The Screening provides the information required in order to establish whether or not the proposed development is likely to have a significant impact on the Natura sites in the context of their conservation objectives and specifically on the habitats and species for which the Natura 2000 sites have been designated. By undertaking the ecological impact assessment in a step by step manner in relation to the habitats and species of the Natura 2000 sites, this report seeks to inform the Ref: 12135.24/HDA FINAL ISSUE – April 2013 Page 1 Roughan & O’Donovan S2S Cycleway & Footway

  • Dublin City Council Biodiversity Location Dublin Bay Is Bisected by the Shipping Lane of Dublin Port
    An Urgent Enquiry Dublin City Council Biodiversity Location Dublin Bay is bisected by the shipping lane of Dublin Port. Its natural shallow harbour brought about the genesis of Dublin City as a major international port, first as a centre of trade controlled by the Vikings and then as the ‘second city’ of the British empire. The Bay has always been challenging for navigation due to its numerous shallows and contains over 400 shipwrecks classed now as national monuments. (https://dahg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=89e50518e5f4437abfa6 284ff39fd640) Protected Habitats and Species The North Bull Island is the most designated site in the Republic of Ireland and has been officially recognised for its important biodiversity for a century. North Bull Island was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1981 and was extended and re-designated in 2015 as Dublin Bay Biosphere Reserve (DBBR) to create a model for managing biodiversity at an ecosystem level in an urban area (http://www.dublinbaybiosphere.ie/about). It presents a concept which is more identifiable to the public and fosters greater awareness and wider engagement in active management by citizens. The Biosphere will be composed of a core area of wetland areas designated as part of the EU‘s Natura 2000 network. Each of the core zones contains unusual flora and fauna communities found in many remnant pockets of vegetation which exemplify the landscape history of the Dublin region prior to its development as a capital city. North Bull Island has two Natura 2000 sites: Special Protection Area (SPA) for birds under the Birds Directive and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the Habitats Directive.

  • May 2018X.Pub
    St. Brigid’s Parish, Killester, Dublin 5 May 2018 ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ we must defend life! At this time people are canvassing our votes for the forthcoming referendum on the 8th Amendment to our Constitution. For us the question is a matter of life or death. I will find myself having to decide on this issue. How do I vote on the proposed introduction of unrestricted abortion for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy? Will my voting ‘Yes’ or voting ‘No’ defend life? Opinion polls suggest a sizeable lead for the removal of the equal protection of life for mother and the unborn baby at present enshrined in our Constitution, removing the only right that these unborn enjoy. Should the measure be passed, the inevitability is the introduction of widespread abortion in our country such as exists in many other countries. In that case we as Christians cannot be expected to abandon unborn children and their mothers and simply fade away. As Christians in other lands, and as we have sought to do up to now, we must instead boldly love, defend and protect both. Fr. Liam Held Over I was preparing a good-news announcement that would have been the lead item of this month’s newsletter. I have been asked to keep it back for next month’s newsletter. While I would have liked to lead with the item, I have acceded to this request. Fr. Liam New feast of Our Lady announced by Pope Francis. Pope Francis has added a new feast of Mary, Mother of the Church to the Universal Calendar.

  • Bringing Together the Parishes of Clontarf and Dollymount
    Bringing together the Parishes o Clontarf and Dollymount 2017 “That They May Be One” (John 17:21) This was Christ’s prayer at the Last Supper for His followers. In Clontarf we have six churches, each with their own tradition, but who also try to fulfil this wish of Christ for unity and love.

The Soup Kitchen will take place in St. Gabriel’s Parish Centre on Good Friday (12 – 3pm) in aid of Br. Kevin’s Dinners in Church Street. Last year we raised over €5,000 for this charity.

The fourth side of the park extends along the coast at James Larkin Road, overlooking North Bull Island and Dublin Bay. It is bisected by the course of the Naniken River, which flows eastwards into the sea near the artificial pond at the Herculanean Temple, one of the park’s well-known follies.
