Our functions include policy making, monitoring and oversight and promoting enhanced co-ordination in our Region. A key function is the delivery of a Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for our Region, which covers twelve local authorities and is organised into 3 Strategic Planning Areas (SPAs), which have an administrative sub-regional planning remit. Eastern Midland Region Region Louth Longford Meath Fingal Dublin Region Westmeath Dublin City South Dún Laoghaire Dublin Offaly Kildare -Rathdown Wicklow Laois What is a Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES)? The primary statutory objective of the Strategy is to support implementation of Project Ireland 2040 - which links planning and investment through the National Planning Framework (NPF) and ten year National Development Plan (NDP) - and the economic and climate policies of the Government by providing a long-term strategic planning and economic framework for the Region. The RSES identifies regional assets, opportunities The RSES is required under the Planning and Development and pressures and provides policy responses in the Act 2000 (as amended) to address Employment, form of Regional Policy Objectives.

The RSES will be implemented in policy by way of review by local authorities of all development plans and Local Economic and Community Plans (LECPs), to ensure their consistency with national and regional policy. Key state agencies and sectoral bodies will also have to consider their strategies and investment plans in light of the adoption of the RSES.

The main settlement is the capital city of Dublin, which is supported by a network of regional and county towns and an extensive rural hinterland. Our people are our greatest asset and the Region is home to some of the youngest, most diverse and fastest growing communities in the country. The provision of childcare, education and health services and access to quality jobs, housing, travel options and amenities - to meet both the current and future needs of our people - will be key to achieving good quality of life in the Region. Between 2006 to 2016 the Region grew by 15%, an increase of over 300,000 people, and this population growth is Changing Demographic Profile – Age Structure 2016 to 2031 Source: CSO set to continue over the lifetime of the RSES. However growth varied significantly across the Region, with higher growth in the areas surrounding Dublin and some of our large towns, while other parts of our Region - including EMRA Age Profile (CSO, 2016) urban centres as well as more remote areas - experienced population decline. Some rural areas are also facing challenges ranging from urban generated pressures to an ageing population, changes to economic structure, and lack of access to infrastructure and new technologies. Laois 65 + years and Fingal were the fastest growing counties, with ten year 12% 0-14 years growth rates of 26% and 23% respectively to 2016. 21% The region is young and diverse, with 1 in 5 people under 14 years of age and more than 1 in 8 residents who are non- 45-64 years Irish nationals. By 2031 there will be a significant increase 15-24 years 23% in people over 65 years of age and a key challenge will be to 12% ensure positive health outcomes and a good quality of life for our older people. There will also be an increase in the 15-24 year age cohort and a continued long term trend towards smaller and one person households. Population growth 25-44 years and changing demographics will require careful planning to 32% meet the changing needs of our older people, for children, families and young people, and to support the integration of migrants and address social exclusion and isolation. Executive Summary 5 An Economic Engine The Eastern and Midland Region is the primary economic engine of the state, home to the capital city, with nearly half the Country’s population and more than 1 million jobs. While the RSES seeks to plan for jobs growth and economic development across the Region, new and unexpected opportunities for enterprise development are also likely to arise during the lifetime of the strategy, based on local strengths, assets and resources, and underpinned by the quality of life offering.

  • Arthur's Way Heritage Trail
    HERITAGE TRAIL Arthur’s Way is a heritage trail across northeast County Kildare that follows in the footsteps of Arthur Guinness. In just 16 km, it links many of the historic sites associated with Ireland’s most famous brewers – the Guinness family. Visitors are invited to explore Celbridge - where Arthur spent his childhood, Leixlip - the site of his first brewery and Oughterard graveyard - Arthur’s final resting place near his ancestral home. The trail rises gently from the confluence of the Liffey and Rye rivers at Leixlip to the Palladian Castletown House estate and onto Celbridge. It then departs the Liffey Valley to join the Grand Canal at Hazelhatch. The grassy towpaths guide visitors past beautiful flora and fauna and the enchanting Lyons Estate. At Ardclough, the route finally turns for Oughterard which offers spectacular views over Kildare, Dublin and the Province of Leinster. R o yaal l C a MAAYNOOTHYNOOTH nnala l R .
