Executive summary 1.1 Introduction Over 1,000 stakeholders participated in the latest consultation stage of the preferred scheme and environmental impact assessment scoping report which ran from fourteen weeks from 8 November 2016 to the 14 February 2017. This Consultation Submissions Report details the consultation activities undertaken and sets out a summary of the feedback received from the fourth consultation, and the project team’s response to this feedback. 1.2 Background A new water supply source is needed for Irish Water’s Eastern and Midlands Region to deliver secure, reliable and sustainable long term water supplies to the region. In 2015 Irish Water embarked on an extensive four-stage public consultation process to identify a suitable new source of water supply for the region. The project which has identified Irish Water’s preferred new water supply scheme is titled ‘Water Supply Project, Eastern and Midlands Region’ abbreviated to WSP. After analysing feedback from four phases of public consultation, carrying out detailed on-the-ground investigations and computer modelling, abstraction from the Parteen Basin has been identified as the single option which delivers the widest benefit to the greatest number of people with the least environmental impact. The preferred new water supply scheme comprises the abstraction of water from the Lower River Shannon at Parteen Basin in County Tipperary, with water treatment nearby at Birdhill. Treated water would then be piped 170km to a termination point reservoir at Peamount in south County Dublin, enabling connection into the Greater Dublin water supply network. Supplies of treated water would be made available to Midland communities at a number of specified locations along the pipeline route from Parteen Basin to Dublin. 1.3 Consultation publicity and activity Public participation is an essential element of the development of any infrastructure

  • Shots Were Fired | Norient.Com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke
    Shots Were Fired | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke War is the biggest and most horrible drama of human kind. Yet the noises of war – everything from swords clanging to modern machine guns and bombs – have fascinated musicians and composers for centuries. For his mix «shots were fired» for the section «war» from the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds the Irish radio journalist Bernard Clarke combined radio news samples with musically deconstructed war sounds. «shots were fired» is a deeply personal response to a tragedy and farce played out in a Paris dripping with blood and a media whipping up a frenzy; to and of the forgotten victims in France and around the world; and of and to the so-called world leaders who seized on this outrage for a media opportunity, a «selfie». Western societies are not the havens of rationalism that they often proclaim themselves to be. The West is a polychromatic space, in which both freedom of thought and tightly regulated speech exist, and in which disavowals of deadly violence happen at the same time as clandestine torture. And yet, at moments when Western societies consider themselves under attack, the discourse is quickly dominated by an ahistorical fantasy of long- suffering fortitude in the face of provocation. Yet European and American history are so strongly marked by efforts to control speech that the persecution of rebellious thought stands as a bedrock of these societies. Witch burnings, heresy trials, and the untiring work of the Inquisition shaped Europe, and these ideas extended into American history as well and took on American modes, from the breaking of slaves to the genocide of American Indians to censuring of critics of «Operation Iraqi Freedom».

  • Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry Into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall
    Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall The starting premise for a discussion of RTÉ's editorial policy on the coverage of any area of public interest is that there is no single expression of it. RTÉ's output is based on a set of principles which are derived from its statutory obligations. These principles form the framework for editorial decision making and there is an editorial structure in place to monitor, discuss and challenge the editorial selections being made so as to ensure they are being adhered to. In addition, all RTÉ's activities are subject to a regulatory structure to ensure that the organisation is meeting its public service obligations. Those working in editorial roles in RTÉ operate under a shared understanding of RTÉ’s obligations under various statutes, notably the 1976 Broadcasting Act as amended and the 2009 Broadcasting Act. In RTÉ News, this translates into a very simple premise: inform the audience in the public interest. The political scientist Jean Blondel - in an essay written in honour of the late RTÉ broadcaster Brian Farrell - calls the role to inform the noblest of tasks because it is the most difficult. It requires the reporting of facts, sometimes the establishment of facts, their selection according to their importance and the presentation of them with related material to allow their meaning or significance to be understood. What is important to report in the public interest is a constantly evolving question that is impacted on by events and does not adhere to any fixed state of national consensus.

  • 1 Opening Statement of Counsel for the Tribunal INTRODUCTION Sir, It
    1 Opening Statement of Counsel for the Tribunal INTRODUCTION Sir, it is now my function to address you to deliver an opening statement on behalf of the Tribunal. I will be aided in this task by your other counsel, Mr Patrick Marrinan SC and Ms Kathleen Leader BL. The purpose of this is to outline in public the progress the tribunal is making in relation to the issues comprised in the terms of reference, an overview of the evidence and issues that have emerged so far, without drawing any conclusions in relation to those and to lay out, fairly I hope, the factual landscape that appears to be emerging. This is subject to all the evidence that will emerge in the course of the public hearings that you, sir, are about to embark on. Anything, therefore, that I or my colleagues say is subject to the evidence as it emerges and is tested, but also to the whole process that a tribunal must necessarily bring to bear in relation to that. I shall, as a matter of necessity and fairness, have to outline what is involved in such a process, albeit as briefly as I can. Scope of Inquiry and the Terms of Reference The scope of the tribunal’s inquiries have necessarily been defined and thereby limited by the terms of reference conferred on it by the resolutions of each of the Houses of the Oireachtas. These are set out below for convenience: [a] To investigate the allegation made in a Protected Disclosure under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, on the 30th of September, 2016, by Superintendent David Taylor, wherein he alleges that he was instructed or directed by former Commissioner Martin Callinan and/or Deputy Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan, to contact the media to brief them negatively against Sergeant Maurice McCabe and in particular to brief the media that Sergeant McCabe was motivated by malice and revenge, that he was to encourage the media to write negatively about Sergeant McCabe, to the effect that his complaints had no substance, that the Gardaí had fully investigated his complaints and found no substance to his allegations and that he was driven by agendas.
