CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S SERVICES COMMITTEE LOUTH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S SERVICES COMMITTEE EVIDENCE BASELINE REPORT, 2016 ALL-ISLAND RESEARCH OBSERVATORY July 2016 Louth Children and Young People’s Services Committee, Evidence Baseline Report, 2016 CHAIR’S FOREWORD As chair of the Louth CYPSC, I am pleased to launch the publication of the Louth CYPSC, Evidence Baseline Report, 2016. The Children and Young People’s Services Committees are an initiative of the Dept. of Children & Youth Affairs which involves the development of a local county based committee bringing together agencies working with children and young people, to engage in joint planning and coordinated delivery of services for children. In working together, our focus is to ensure that statutory, community & voluntary agencies secure better developmental outcomes for children and young people in Co. Louth through more effective integration of existing services and interventions at local level. This evidence baseline report and web-based mapping toolkit was undertaken to inform the Louth Children and Young People’s plan in its future work. This plan will take account of the 5 national Outcomes for children outlined in the Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures National Policy Framework 2014-2020: Active and Healthy Achieving in all areas of Learning and Development Safe and Protected from Harm Economic Security & Oppurtunity Connected, Respected and Contributing Population dynamics have proved it’s importance in the development of our previous plan for Co. Louth. Demographic statistics are crucial for decision makers and practitioners for planning and strategically developing appropriate sustainable resources for children and young people. The overriding objective of the report is to support the ongoing development of quality services in Co. Louth. It will be of value to those who plan and provide children’s services, and to professionals who have responsibility for the wellbeing and development of children and young people. I would like to firstly acknowledge the work of the previous Area manager, Jim McGuigan who has given a huge commitment to the development of Louth CYPSC. I would also like to thank all the member organisations of the CYPSC for their advice and input into the coordination of the research and report. Their insight into current services including the identification of gaps, will be central to the development of key actions in our new plan. I would also like to acknowledge the All Ireland Research Observatory (AIRO) and in particular Aoife Dowling, Senior Research Analyst, AIRO for their expertise and assistance in coordinating this report.

In the 5 year period between 2011 and 2016 the population in Louth has increased by 4.5% (+5,478), the 11th highest rate of all local authorities in Ireland. This rate of increase is higher than the State (3.7%), however is lower than the Eastern & Midlands (5.2%) average. Between 2011 and 2016, population growth occurred in 35 of the 43 Louth Electoral Divisions (EDs) (Map 2.1). Of the eight EDs that experienced a decline in population over this period included Dundalk Urban No.2, No.4 and Faghart. Highest growth rates were generally in the south of the county and in areas within close proximity to major settlements. A total of 4 EDs increased their population by more 15% during this period: Carlingford (22.2%), Darver (19.4%) and Dundalk No.3 (18.0%). 24 DEMOGRAPHY Population Pyramid, 2011 Indicator 2.2 85+ Years Louth 80 -84 Years State 75 -79 Years 70 -74 Years 65 -69 Years 60 -64 Years 55 -59 Years 50 -54 Years 45 -49 Years 40 -44 Years 35 -39 Years 30 -34 Years 25 -29 Years 20 -24 Years 15 - 19 Years 10-14 Years 5 to 9 Years 0 to 4 Years 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% Figure 2.2: Population Pyramid, 2011 (Source CSO & AIRO) The age structure or demographic profile of a population is influenced directly by patterns of natural increase (especially the role of fertility) and migration. The population pyramids in the above graphic illustrates the age structure of both Louth and the State. The structure of the Irish population is not distributed evenly throughout the whole country. An examination of the age structure of local authorities in Ireland illustrates the different characteristics of each area. Whilst there are some outliers such as Fingal (very young population); South Dublin (disproportionate sex ratio) and Donegal, Mayo and Kerry (high external migration of young population), many local authorities have a very similar age structure to the State. The age structure for Louth is similar to that of the State overall with a clear pyramid shape from age 30 up, a decline in the population from age 30 down to age 15, followed by a recovery in the younger age groups, reflecting the increasing birth rates in more recent years. 25 3.

A91 W20C RE: Draft County Development Plan 2021 – 2027 Submission on behalf of Mr Peter Collier regarding lands at Termonfeckin, Co. Louth Dear Sir With reference to the above, and further to your invitation to the public to make submissions in respect of the Draft County Development Plan 2021 – 2027 for County Louth, please note that we have been appointed by Mr Peter Collier to make this submission on his behalf. The following submission relates to lands located to the Southern outskirts of the village of Termonfeckin and its suggested proposal to rezone the site for Residential development. Situated within a 15 min walk of the Village centre and stradled on the existing boundary development line the site has excellent road frontage along the R167 and enormous potential to provide vital land zoning provisions to improve and enhance the Village and surrounding environments. With the Site Ideally placed to direct access of existing infrastructure and services a part zoning is proposed is recommended to facilitate development such as one off housing or Cul de Sac development. Residential Housing – Low Density There is a definite concern for the residential aspect in Termonfeckin in that the Variety is singular to the Termonfeckin road end of the village. At present there is one housing development selling houses in Termonfeckin which leads to non variety and no competition.

    INTRODUCTION Drogheda Has Been Identified As a Key Economic Growth

    Name: Kieran Surname: Smith Message: NPF 2040 Submission -- This e-mail was sent from a contact form on National Planning Framework (http://npf.ie) INTRODUCTION Drogheda has been identified as a key economic growth centre as. It has seen rapid population growth, and in parallel, significant investment in infrastructure such as upgrading the Belfast- Dublin rail line; the arrival of the M1 motorway and the ongoing expansion of the local hospital which serves the region. However, as the town and hinterland "straddles" the counties of Louth and Meath, it has failed to secure inward investment commensurate with it's population and infrastructure, as it's scale has been "hidden" in population data, divided across the two counties.It is also the major social, commercial and economic centre for a ring of growing towns and villages in its hinterland, i.e. Stamullen, Donore, Julianstown, Gormanstown, Donacarney, Duleek, Slane, Collon, Monasterboice, Tullyallen, Termonfeckin, Dunleer. The recent Drogheda Boundary Review did the town - and Ireland - a major disservice by concluding that the status quo should remain rather than having the town run by ONE administration ... this option was described as the preferred one in the executive summary. That report also claimed to have looked at models internationally before concluding that - effectively - a "two town" approach was the preferred recommendation rather than recognising Ireland's largest town with it's ongoing population growth which will position Drogheda as a city in the near future. The most effective manner to achieve this status and achieve other benefits and efficiencies is to merge Louth and Meath Local Authorities into one larger entity.

A91 W20C 25th November 2019 RE: Louth County Development Plan Review Submission on behalf of Gerry Kelly and Maire Milner Dear Sir/Madam, With reference to the above, and further to your invitation to the public to make submissions in respect of the making of a new development plan for County Louth, please note that we have been appointed by Gerry Kelly and Maire Milner to make this submission on their behalf. Please find attached contact details for our client separately as directed. Background Our clients live in Clogherhead, and they are active members of the community there. In the past year Louth County Council, with a local community organisation as a co-sponsor have attempted to secure funding for a public walkway and cycleway across and through my clients lands. The effect of this would have been to annex the summit and a sizeable portion of land. Our clients have a keen interest in the preservation of the Headland of Clogherhead for future generations, and in the responsible planning and development of the area. The Headland is a unique and unspoilt area with a timeless and peaceful quality, associated with a fragile habitat designated for the highest level of conservation. The beauty and timelessness of the Headland is renowned: this balance is vulnerable and if upset would be lost for ever. Key Issues On behalf of our client, we would respectfully suggest that Louth Co Co liaise with the local landowners and members of the community and develop a set of objectives and policies in relation to Clogherhead, Village, Beach, Pier and surrounding area that, along with usual planning considerations takes account of the following matters: • Land ownership, and property rights • Protection of the SAC and SPA • Protection of ecology and habitats • Health and safety of walkers and users of any amenities to be provided.

The brochures of the shared Oriel Trail, the Stephenson Pond, and in particular the Knockbridge Rural Village, are all admirable. Now that the village has reached the higher level in the Competition, you will find that increases in marks are much slower and harder to come by: this is a factor common to all centres which do exceptionally well and is not a matter to be despondent about. When drawing your map, please be sure in future to mark all sites which should be visited - for example, Martin's Cross is not shown and could easily have been missed. Congratulations on obtaining substantial developmental grants. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Certainly as good as last year. It is good to see that important items of artistic merit, such as the Clarke and Mayer windows in the Church, are given prominence. The completion of the Burns House will be greatly looked forward to. LANDSCAPING The landscaping continues to be sensitive and attractive. The neighbourhood of the School continues this good tradition.

    Louth County Council Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Termonfeckin Water Supply Scheme Termonfeckin Borehole Groundwater Source Protection Zones November 2011 Revision: E Prepared by: Peter Conroy On behalf of the Geological Survey of Ireland With contributions from: Dr. Robert Meehan, Consultant Geologist; Jenny Deakin TCD; Natalya Hunter Williams, GSI And with assistance from: Louth County Council Geological Survey of Ireland Termonfeckin Public Water Supply Groundwater Source Protection Zones PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater.
