    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

  • 5. Economic Development
    Dundalk and Environs Development Plan 5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 5.1 Introduction and Context This chapter sets out the Councils policies and proposals, which are aimed at promoting and enabling economic development and tourism within the plan area. This chapter gives effect to the Strategic Objective for Economic Development. SO1 Assist in the development of Dundalk's Gateway status as a Regional Employment Growth Centre & Regional Shopping Destination. 5.1.1 National and Regional Context It is a priority of the National Development Plan 2000-2006 to promote sustainable growth and employment. The National Development Plan identifies key determinants of sustained economic performance, both nationally and regionally, and these include: • Ease of access to foreign and domestic markets. • A modern telecommunications network. • Back-up research and technology infrastructure which is accessible to enterprises in all sectors. • A well developed educational system. • A highly qualified and skilled workforce. • High quality physical infrastructure, including inter-urban transport and energy transmission systems. • An adequate supply of housing. • A good overall quality of life and; • A high quality and sustainable environment. The areas that are best endowed with these characteristics are generally the larger urban centres, which have a strategic location relative to their surrounding territory. These areas possess good social and economic infrastructure and support services, and have the potential to open up their zones of influence to further development. The cities and towns with this capability are envisaged in the National Development Plan as developmental “gateways”, able to drive growth throughout their zones of influence and Colin Buchanan and Partners 43 Dundalk and Environs Development Plan generate a dynamic of development that, which inclusively, recognises and exploits the relationship between city, town, village and rural area.

Three tagged smolts were detected on marine acoustic receivers distributed across two separate arrays from different projects in the Irish Sea. One sh had migrated approximately 262km in 10 days from the river mouth at Workington Harbour, Cumbria to the northernmost receiver array operated by the SeaMonitor project; this is the longest tracked marine migration of an Atlantic salmon smolt migrating from United Kingdom.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019 May 2020 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 4 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,704 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 7,813 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with over 100,000 (100,124) households supported to the end of Q4 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.
