Reports of the Demise of the Scottish Enlightenment May Have Been Premature Fri Apr 26, 2024 13:00 | C.J. Strachan A month after the arrival of Scotland's Hate Crime Act and it appears reports of the demise of the Scottish Enlightenment may have been premature, no thanks to the SNP but due to the doughty spirit of the Scots.

There will be an information event in the County Library, Tallaght from 3pm 6pm on Tuesday 15th August 2017 where Council staff will be available to provide general guidance and answer queries relating to the proposed Dodder Greenway
This has been posted at short notice because it is happening today.
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT 2000 (PART XI) (AS AMENDED)
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, 2001 (AS AMENDED) PART 8
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposed provision by South Dublin County Council of the above scheme in the townlands of Kiltipper, Tallaght, Old Bawn, Firhouse, Templeogue, Terenure and Rathfarnham. The proposed works will comprise the following:
The proposed Dodder Greenway is being developed to be a Greenway of international renown and to be on a par with the best greenways in the world. Although developed as a combination of off road and on road it utilises existing facilities within the Dodder Valley as much as possible to connect the linear parkland along the route. The main elements of the proposed Greenway are as follows: The Greenway route is approximately 14km in length and passes along the Dodder Valley from Orwell / Terenure through the outer suburbs of Tallaght to rural and upland Dublin to the entrance to the Bohernabreena reservoirs at Glenasmole.
It will provide for improved connectivity to communities, facilities and local business along the
Dodder Valley corridor with a dedicated signage strategy.
Where commuting currently exists and demand is anticipated to continue, the scheme either ensures it is facilitated in a pedestrian priority environment with additional capacity for safe use at junctions or provide an alternative route for commuting cyclists where required.
The Greenway will generally consist of a shared 3-4m wide bound surface on the off road sections, tying into suitable
bound surfacing for the on road sections. It is proposed to utilise enhanced variations to reflect local context.
Works will include widening and upgrade to existing paths, construction of new paths, the construction of a number of
new bridges, upgrade of existing bridges and underpasses, junction upgrades, etc.
The upgrade and creation of new entrances to the Greenway.
Improved landscape treatment to provide a coherent and legible Greenway along the proposed Greenway.

of bat boxes.
