National Broadband Plan Project overview How a network ‘works’ • When a premise connects to the internet, the data goes to a Local Exchange. • From there the local exchange sends the data to the Regional Exchange. • Then the data is sent to Data Centres, this is where to most internet traffic ends up. These are primarily in Dublin. Primary Data Path Backup Data Path National Broadband Ireland 2/12/2021 How we’re rolling out the NBI network The NBI network is designed on 227 Deployment Areas, each with a Local or Regional Exchange at its core. • 33 Regional Exchanges Regional Exchanges are our backbone and connect us directly connected to to the Data Centres. We build these first. • 194 Local Exchanges All local exchanges connect to their nearest Regional Exchange. These areas are built after the Regional Exchange area is built. • Exchanges will all connect back to Data Centres, most are based in Dublin National Broadband Plan Project overview Backhaul Regional Exchanges network to Dublin • Deployment Areas that have a Regional Exchange area are built first. • This is to ensure we have a solid backhaul network connection back to Data Centres. • Deployment Area around the Regional Exchange is ~20km in radius. National Broadband Ireland 2/12/2021 Local Exchanges Back to Dublin • Once the Deployment Area with the Regional Exchange is built, we then connect to an adjacent Deployment area with a Local Exchange and build out from there. • Each Deployment Area is ~20km in diameter. • Local Exchanges send data via the Regional Exchange to the Data Centres. Why not build Local Exchanges first? • Building Local Exchanges first would mean a delay in

  • THE IRISH LEGISLATIVE GENDER QUOTA: Analysing Implementation & Outcome
    Bachelor Dissertation Seán Dunleavy - 15006816 European Studies – Faculty of Management & Organization The Hague University of Applied Sciences ………. THE IRISH LEGISLATIVE GENDER QUOTA: Analysing Implementation & Outcome ………. 08/01/2019 Supervisor: Dr. Krijtenburg Word count: 20,056 i The Irish Legislative Gender Quota: Analysing Implementation & Outcome Sean Dunleavy Executive Summary The title of this dissertation, “the Irish Legislative Gender Quota: Analysing Implementation & Outcome”, is specifically related to the Electoral (Amendment) (Political Funding) Act 2012, which requires political parties to field at least 30 percent candidates from the minority represented sex, with penalty for failure to comply resulting in a halving of state funding. Overall, given the difficulties observed during the 2016 general election campaign, and indeed now again in preparation for the next election, it is important to understand if these reforms are solely responsible for achieving increased female representation. Why difficulties during selection conventions are occurring, and how they can be best overcome. The main question is as follows: ‘Has the introduction of state mandated gender quotas for political party election candidates in the Republic of Ireland had the desired effects both in terms of implementation and ultimate outcome?’ Both qualitative and quantitative methods of research were conducted for this dissertation report. Qualitative research was used to collect and analyse, with the work of Irish academics Buckley, of University College Cork, Galligan, of Queen's University Belfast, & McGing, of Maynooth University, found to be of particular importance when detailing any aspect specific to Ireland. The majority of reviewed literature publications would take the form of academic journals and government sponsored publications.

  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD Carlow is a progressive, vibrant County which is attractive, inclusive and accessible. Carlow County Council is committed to providing the highest quality public services for local residents, visitors and for new and existing companies, from multinationals to entrepreneurs and SMEs. Creating an environment for economic growth and driving quality of life for all is a priority for this Council. We are pleased to introduce the Carlow County Council Annual Report 2019, which outlines the work of the Council in delivering important public services during the year, all of which contribute to making County Carlow an attractive place in which to work, live and do business. 2019 has seen the strengthening of the Council’s role in economic development and community development and this is welcomed by all. It must be acknowledged that the changing economic climate both at national and local levels have made a defining influence on the extent to which our services are delivered. Despite the reduction in human and financial resources in recent years, Carlow County Council continues to deliver a high standard of service. The Council welcomes the easing of financial restrictions and the improving economic position. Our staff, with the support and leadership of the elected members, continue to maintain and deliver quality services as referenced in our Corporate Plan, whilst also keeping the Council on a firm financial standing. Similar to all local authorities in the country, Carlow County Council relies heavily on government funding. It follows that a reduction in overall funding can profoundly impact on our capacity to deliver our services and any increase in funding enables the Council to leverage these monies to provide additional and enhanced services.

The Office of the Planning Regulator (the Office) wishes to acknowledge the considerable and evident work your authority has put in to the preparation of the draft plan against the backdrop of an evolving national and regional planning policy and regulatory context, which included taking account of the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Southern Regional Assembly area and the establishment of the Office.

More recently, you will have been notified of the Ministerial Circular relating to Structural Housing Demand in Ireland and Housing Supply Targets, and the associated Section 28 Guidelines: Housing Supply Target Methodology for Development Planning.

    KILKENNY COUNTY COUNCIL COMHAIRLE CHONTAE CHILL CHAINNIGH ANNUAL REPORT 2019 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adopted by Kilkenny County Council on Monday, 18th May, 2020 STATEMENT OF AN CATHAOIRLEACH It is a great privilege for me to introduce the Annual Report for 2019. This Annual Report details the wide variety of services provided by Kilkenny County Council to the people of Kilkenny City and County. We, the Council, play a key role in providing essential core services such as housing, roads, water, fire and emergency services and in supporting local communities through the arts, heritage, conservation, libraries and community and enterprise functions. In 2019, the provision of additional housing continued to remain a priority for Kilkenny County Council. The Housing Task Force set up in 2017 continued to play an important in working with the Executive to progress much needed new housing units. In 2019, the Council welcomed many dignitaries to the City & County both from home and abroad. This is an opportunity for us to showcase what is best in Kilkenny. In particular, we were pleased to welcome delegations from Moret-sur-Loing and Formigine to celebrate our St Patrick’s festivities. I also welcome the many awards bestowed on Kilkenny throughout the year. This is a recognition of the hard work of many communities across the County working in collaboration with Kilkenny County Council and many statutory agencies. These awards are a boost to many rural communities and also fosters greater community engagement and encourages other towns and villages to develop projects in their own communities. The allocation of funding under various schemes greatly assists in the development of our towns and villages.
