The first stage of the process was the pre-draft consultation, where notice was given that the City Development Plan, 2016-2022 is to be reviewed and a new plan made for the City. A copy of the public notice is contained in Appendix 1. The pre-draft consultation was undertaken over an 8 week period from the 15th of December 2020 to the 22nd of February 2021 and written submissions or observations were invited with regard to the review. The review takes up to 2 years and will conclude with the adoption of the final City Development Plan 2022-2028 towards the end of 2022. In total, three phases of public display and wide ranging consultation will take place throughout the two year process. The consultation at this stage is strategic in nature and the public were asked to consider high level, big picture issues based around a number of key themes that will be considered in the plan. At this stage of the plan making process, submissions relating to the zoning of land are not considered. Such submissions can be made at the draft plan stage which is scheduled to go out to public consultation in November 2021. This report contains a summary of the issues raised in the submissions received and the Chief Executives response to same. The Chief Executive’s Report also provides an opinion and recommendations based on the issues raised in the submissions. The structure of this report is set out in the Planning and Development Act, 2000 as amended (Section 11(4)(b)). The report must be submitted to the Councillors for their consideration. The Councillors have up to 10 weeks to consider the Chief Executive’s report. The report shall be published on the Dublin City Council website as soon as practicable following its preparation. Following consideration of this report, the members of the Planning Authority may issue directions regarding the preparation of the draft plan. In accordance with Section 11(4)(d) of the Act, any such directions shall be: strategic in nature, consistent with the draft Core Strategy, shall take account of statutory obligations of the Local Authority in the area and any relevant policies or objectives for the time being of the Government or any Minister of the Government. The Chief Executive shall comply with any such directions. In issuing directions, the members are restricted to considering the proper planning and sustainable development of the area to which the development plan relates. 3 __________________________________________________________________________________ After this stage, the draft development plan will be prepared and submitted to the Councillors for their consideration. This is scheduled for late November 2021. Overall, the level of engagement at this stage was very high and 752 submissions were received from the public. Dublin City Council wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who made submissions, all those who gave of their time to attend the on line webinars, and engaged with officials and also the Councillors, for their contribution to the overall process.

It reports on the first of three phases of public consultation over the two year plan making process. The next stage of public consultation will involve the display of the draft plan in November 2021, whilst the final stage will be the display of amendments to the draft plan. The Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended, provides for public involvement at the strategic policy formulation stage of the plan preparation process, prior to the preparation of a draft plan. This earlier involvement provides an opportunity for all of the stakeholders with an interest in the development of the city to have a greater sense of ownership on the final Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028. Under the Act, is a requirement for the Chief Executive to prepare a Chief Executive’s Report on the submissions/observations received and matters arising out of any consultation undertaken. The report must respond to the issues raised and make recommendations on the policies to be included in the draft plan. The legislation also requires that all of the foregoing must be considered against a background of national policy, guidelines and standards. Section 11 (4)(a) of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended), sets out the requirements in relation to the preparation of a Chief Executive’s Report. The Chief Executive’s Report is required to deal with any submissions or observations received on foot of the notifications and consultations (carried out under Section 11 (2) and (3) of the Act), with, inter alia, the public, prescribed bodies, service providers and the Board. In accordance with Section 11 (4)(b) the Chief Executive’s Report must: (i) List the persons or bodies who made submissions or observations, as well as any persons or bodies consulted. (ii) Summarise the issues raised in the submissions and during the consultations, where appropriate, but shall not refer to a submission relating to a request or proposal for zoning of particular land for any purpose. (iii) Give the Opinion of the Chief Executive on the issues raised. In this regard, the Chief Executive’s opinion must take into account: (a) the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, (b) the statutory obligations of any Local Authority in the area, and (c) any relevant policies or objectives of the Government or any Minister of the Government. (iv) Finally, the Report shall state the Chief Executive’s Recommendations on the Policies to be included in the Draft City Development Plan. 7 __________________________________________________________________________________ The Chief Executive’s Report must then be submitted to the Councillors of the Planning Authority or a committee of the Planning Authority for their consideration.

    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.

We have liaised on the matter with our colleagues in South Dublin County Council who are also making a submission and our recommendations are predominantly the same. This local authority manages a large number of street trees which are located along streets, roads, on public pathways, parks, open spaces, woodlands and cemeteries. The local authority also manages hedgerows both natural and ornamental and trees growing within them throughout out the council jurisdiction. There is a requirement for clarity in relation to exemptions on cultivated lands and this review affords the opportunity to clarify this issue. 1. Amendment of closed period In relation to amending the closed period from March 1st to August 31st, it is considered that no change is required in regard to cutting of field hedgerows. 2. Maintenance of street trees It is understood that street trees are on cultivated land and as such, this allows for tree maintenance works to be carried out during the closed period, subject to prior inspection of the trees for active nests or nesting birds.

  • To the Lord Mayor and Report No. 12/2019 Members of Dublin City Council Report of Assistant Chief Executive
    To the Lord Mayor and Report No. 12/2019 Members of Dublin City Council Report of Assistant Chief Executive _________________________________________________________________________ Revised Area Committee Structures – Post Local Elections 2019 _________________________________________________________________________ The new boundary provisions for the next City Council elections will be implemented from June 2019. The number of Local Electoral Areas (LEAs) in Dublin City will increase from 9 at present to 11 (Six on the north side and five on the south side). There will be no change in the number of elected members which will remain at 63. The local electoral areas will be smaller with a maximum of 7 elected members in each. The biggest changes in boundaries refer to the amalgamation of Rathmines with Crumlin/Kimmage and the creation of a new area covering Whitehall/Artane, however no existing area is left fully unchanged. These changes have implications for our existing area committee boundaries that have been in place for the last 10 years. They will also have implications for our existing area management structures, but this does give us a welcome opportunity to review, re-define and enhance those management structures. This report concentrates on the area committee boundaries and once these are agreed then we can focus on the staffing arrangements to support those structures and implement same before the elections are held in May 2019. The adoption of an area committee structure is a reserved function. I am setting out below details of the current structure and arrangements and I am also setting out a number of different options that could be put in place after the Local Elections in May 2019.

  • 1) to Investigate the Final Case Study Belfast During World War II 2) to Examine Each of the Key Concepts in This Section
    Subject: Leaving Certificate History Teacher: Mr Kelly Week: Week 12 Lesson: Case Study Belfast during WW II 12.0 Learning Intentions 1) To investigate the final Case study Belfast during World War II 2) To examine each of the key Concepts in this section. 3) To investigate the Key personalities in this section 4) To plan a full Leaving Certificate question 12.1 BELFAST DURING WORLD WAR II When war broke out in September 1939, Belfast was an important city in terms of producing war materials for the British forces. The Harland & Wolf shipyard was the largest in the United Kingdom and it increased the production of warships. The Shorts Brothers & Harland aircraft factory saw a huge increase in its operations. Belfast itself was poorly protected despite being a major target for enemy attack. Whereas Glasgow had 88 anti-aircraft guns, Belfast only had 24. The city also did not have a properly developed fire brigade service. In November 1940 the German Luftwaffe sent out reconnaissance (spy) flights over Belfast that took photographs of the city, including its main factories. THE BOMBING OF BELFAST The first attack on Belfast took place on the 7 April 1941. It was carried out by 6 German bombers and resulted in 14 deaths and started 17 fires throughout the city. A week later on the night of 15 April, the Luftwaffe carried out a mass raid on Belfast. The attack involved 180 aircraft and lasted some five hours, between 11.00pm and 4.00 am. The death toll was around 900 and 600 were seriously injured.
