    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.

  • Page 1 of 3 Catherine Murphy, TD Dáil Éireann Kildare Street Dublin 2
    Catherine Murphy, T.D. Dáil Éireann Kildare Street Dublin 2 - D02 A272 9th July 2020 Dear Deputy I am writing to you concerning the matter you raised in Parliamentary Question No. 935 on 3 June last to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, which has been referred to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for reply. Royal Canal Greenway The Royal Canal Greenway is a key element of the Dublin - Galway National Cycle Route, running through Dublin City, Fingal County and Kildare County Council areas. Within the Greater Dublin Area, the scheme is being developed by those local authorities in collaboration with, and funded by, the NTA. The alignment of the scheme parallels the Canal, swapping between the northern and southern sides so as to minimise impacts to the receiving environment. Construction of Phase 2 (between Sherriff Street Upper and North Strand Road - a distance of 0.72 km) began last year and is due for completion shortly. This section includes a new bridge, ramps, underpass and linear park. Phase 3 (between North Strand Road and Phibsborough Road) is currently at detailed design and will progress to construction in 2021. Phase 4 (between Ashtown and Cross Gunns Bridge) is also at detailed design and sections will progress to construction later this year. Consideration is being given to options for the development of the section between Castleknock and the border of Fingal / Kildare and the outcome of that work is expected to progress to planning later this year. Page 1 of 3 The remaining section, which extends from the Fingal / Kildare boundary to Maynooth has Part 8 planning approval.

This is to the west of the residential area of Inchicore Terrace South and accessed via Inchicore Parade at the end of St. Patrick’s Terrace. The railway line runs to the north of the site. The Plans submitted show the small area of the building in the context of the other buildings within the Inchicore Works Compound and as shown on the land ownership map. While there are many older more historic buildings within the landholding, there are also some more recently built. The Iarnród Éireann site is fully operational and has a security gated entrance and on-site parking. This is a detached stone/timber/slate building and there are two main rooms with connecting hallway. This small building is now cordoned off with security barriers and does not appear to be operational. It is adjacent to a pond area which also provides a water supply in case of fire.

DESCRIPTORS Access to Education; *Adult Education; *Day Programs; Educational Research; Foreign Countries; Lifelong Learning; Noncredit Courses; *Nonformal Education; *Womens Education IDENTIFIERS *Ireland ABSTRACT A study examined daytime education groups, a major phenomenon in Irish adult education. Results showed that 96 groups were operating, mostly in suburban areas, particularly Dublin. These groups had 8,723 adults participating in their courses and programs. What made them unique was their voluntary, locally based nature. The groups received little or no recognition, encouragement, or support from the Department of Education. They were generally dependent on local level support. More than half operated from private homes. Two-thirds rented premises. One in three did not have any insurance coverage for their activities. Two-thirds provided child care, which approximately one-fifth of the participants used. The groups provided a large number and wide range of educational courses and programs. In contrast to statutory providers, the groups had greater control over the whole process. Although crafts and skill-based learning were still emphasized. the main type of learning was oriented toward social and personal understanding. Most courses were run on a strict self-financing basis.
