  • Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough
    Migration Patterns in Dublin County Borough N. JOHNSON N the last 15 years Dublin has undergone a dramatic change, from the fairly sleepy introverted capital of the 26 counties, it has been transformed into a relatively I sophisticated and increasingly cosmopolitan financial and commercial centre. The large demand for office space has led to a change in function of an ever-growing number of buildings in the central city area, while the steadily increasing population is being housed and rehoused in new suburban estates around and beyond the city perimeter. Change has been rapid and this study, limited to that area included in the County Borough due to lack of adequate data, concentrates on certain facets of the city in explanation of the continuous movements of its population. It will show how, as in the majority of cities in the Western Hemisphere, the ecological process of invasion and succession determined the present composition of Dublin and it will outline along what path, without official intervention, its future pattern of growth may proceed. The Growth of Modern Dublin Urban ecologists1 describe the usual process of a city's growth in terms of a centrifugal process. The continuous pressure of migrant population on central city accommodation causes the residents to move to the periphery of the city in order to escape the encroach­ ing slums. This process of invasion and succession continues with the areas of over- *I wish to thank Professor B. Hutchinson, Dr R. C. Geary and Dr Brendan M. Walsh for their valuable criticisms and Peter Neary for conducting the statistical analysis in this paper.

  • 2003 Tolka Valley Park Mammals
    THE MAMMAL FAUNA OF THE TOLKA VALLEY PARK AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RESIDENT FAUNA For Fingal County Council, Parks Department Daubenton’s bat in bridge over the River Tolka. (c) Brian Keeley 2003 Brian Keeley B.Sc. Hons. in Zool. Mammalogist November 2003 INTRODUCTION It is acknowledged by all environmentalists and ecologists that in order to ensure that native fauna may flourish, it is essential that there is a mechanism for continuity provided for interchange between naturally accessible parts of the species’ range. For many mammals, this means of continuity is provided in two main ways: vegetation corridors (hedgerow, trees, scrub) and waterways. Tolka Valley Park provides a link between suburban and rural areas of Fingal. The river itself creates a natural channel for the movement of aquatic or semi-aquatic mammals. The riverside vegetation and the remnant greenery that has survived on the flood plain of the river serves as the vegetation corridor, dwelling and resting place for mammals necessary to sustain and allow the movement of these survivors of increasing urbanisation. To appreciate what the resident fauna of this relatively new park is, it is necessary to examine the site in a number of ways. Different mammals are located by the use of different techniques. This current assessment looked at the bat fauna and the non-volant fauna by different means. Bats were sought during the summer period by means of a bat detector survey. Non-volant mammals were investigated by a walk-through of the Park to identify their tracks etc. rather than any visual determinations.

  • Suburban and Urban Housing in the Twentieth Century
    Suburban and urban housing in the twentieth century RUTH MCMANUS* Geography Department, St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra [Accepted 01 February 2011. Published 19 April 2011.] Abstract Ireland experienced dramatic political, social and economic change in the twentieth century, of which the shift from a majority rural to a majority urban population was one of the most notable. These changes are refl ected in the nature and form of the built environment. In this essay, the evolution of urban and suburban housing during Ireland’s fi rst urban century is considered. Existing patterns of unplanned middle- class suburban expansion were supplemented, from the 1920s, by a programme of planned working-class suburbanization. State intervention thus impacted on the location and form of new housing estates, while layouts owed much to the early British town-planning movement. High levels of owner-occupation in Ireland, the combined result of government policy and individual preference, were also refl ected in a preference for particular housing forms. The predominance of the standardised three- or four-bedroom, semi-detached or detached house, was not challenged until the 1990s when there was a surge in apartment provision, largely driven by tax incen- tives. Changing norms in terms of housing size, facilities and design were shaped by the standards adopted by government and local authorities, as well as to the pressures of the speculative building process. Introduction and The place called home, in an Irish context, changed little in the course of the twentieth context century, and yet it also changed dramatically. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the fact that, while the typical home at the beginning of the twenty-fi rst century remains the single-family detached or semi-detached dwelling, its location and context are now rather different.
