1. Project Ireland 2040
This document sets out the regional projects and programmes which are being planned and
delivered in Dublin as part of the public investment detailed in Project Ireland 2040 - the
Government’s National Planning Framework and National Development Plan Project Ireland 2040
set out ten National Strategic Outcomes (NSO’s), built around the over-arching themes of well-being,
equality and opportunity. This document sets out the main achievements under each NSO to date
for the Dublin region and highlights priorities for the coming years.
While this document does not provide an exhaustive list of all public capital expenditure in the
Dublin region, it does serve to highlight the diverse range of investment being made by the State
under Project Ireland 2040 – a list of the major projects in the Dublin area is contained in the
Appendix.
The document draws on information from a wide range of publicly available sources as well as
material provided by Government Departments and Agencies.
2. Regional City: Dublin City and Metropolitan Area
Project Ireland 2040 envisages the population of Dublin City and Suburbs to grow by between
235,000 - 290,000 people (20-25%) by 2040. In keeping with the vision of compact smart growth,
50% of new city housing will be within the existing Dublin City and Suburbs footprint.
3. Progress against National Strategic Outcomes
3.1 National Strategic Outcome 1 – Compact Growth This outcome aims to secure the sustainable growth of more compact urban and rural settlements
supported by jobs, houses, services and amenities, rather than continued sprawl and unplanned,
uneconomic growth.
There were 1,707 social housing new builds in Dublin in 2018, with more planned in 2019.
In line with the national increase in new houses being built, there was a total of 6,924 new dwelling
completions in Dublin in 2018.

The Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) will help to rejuvenate significant but
underused areas in Ireland’s five cities and other large towns. In Dublin these include: Dublin City
Centre, Santry, Inchicore, Stillorgan, Dundrum, Balbriggan and Tallaght, amongst others.
The URDF is a key part of Project Ireland 2040 and has a total budget of €2 billion over the period to
2027. The aim of the URDF is to stimulate new residential and commercial development in our larger
cities and towns. New services and amenities will support these new developments, and help
achieve the ‘compact growth’ also set out in Project Ireland 2040.
In total, there were 16 successful applicants for the latest round of the Urban Regeneration and
Development Fund.

3.2 National Strategic Outcome 2 – Enhanced Regional Connectivity A core priority under National Planning Framework is to enhance and upgrade accessibility between
urban centres of population and their regions, in parallel with the compact growth of urban centres.
There is one major regional transport project planned for Dublin, the M50 Enhancing Motorway Operation Services (EMOS) Project.
Project Ireland 2040 in Dublin

3.3 National Strategic Outcome 3 – Strengthened Rural Economies and Communities The full participation of rural communities in strategic development as envisaged under the National
Planning Framework is imperative to achieving the full potential of a broad range of strategic
outcomes detailed in the National Development Plan. This applies both in terms of the traditional
pillars of the rural economy, the natural resource and food sector, as well as those emerging from
such developments as improved connectivity, broadband and rural economic development
opportunities.
As part of Project Ireland 2040, the Government has committed to providing an additional €1 billion
for a new Rural Regeneration and Development Fund over the period 2019 to 2027. The Fund will
provide investment to support rural renewal for suitable projects in towns and villages with a
population of less than 10,000, and outlying areas. It will be administered by the Department of
Rural and Community Development.
There was 1 project approved for funding in the Dublin area from the first call of the Rural
Regeneration and Development Fund – part of a countrywide project to develop international
standard Mountain Biking Trails.

3.4 National Strategic Outcome 4 – Sustainable Mobility The expansion of attractive and sustainable public transport alternatives to private based car
transport will reduce congestion and emissions and enable the transport sector to cater in an
environmentally sustainable way for the demands associated with longer term population and
employment growth envisaged under Project Ireland 2040. Furthermore, the provision of safe,
alternative, active travel options such as segregated cycling and walking facilities can also help
alleviate congestion and meet climate action objectives by providing viable alternatives and
connectivity with existing public transport infrastructure. Projects planned under this National
Strategic Outcome (NSO) for Dublin include the new BusConnects, Metrolink and DART Expansion.
BusConnects Dublin is one of the flagship investments to be delivered under Project Ireland 2040.
Over the last year, the National Transport Agency (NTA) has been carrying out a number of public
consultations on the various elements of the BusConnects programme. The programme is made up
of a number of different components namely:
Building a new network of improved bus and cycle lanes;
Redesigning and expanding the network of bus services;
Introducing simpler fare structures and new ticketing technology;
Implementing a new bus livery;
Providing new and improved bus stops and shelters and new park and ride sites; and
Transitioning the entire urban PSO bus fleet to low emission technologies.
The NTA published the MetroLink "Preferred Route" for public consultation on 26th March 2019.
This reflects the NTA's and Transport Infrastructure Ireland's (TII) consideration of issues raised in
the consultation period held last year on what was known as the ‘Emerging Preferred Route’. The
new Preferred Route proposes a number of changes to the route as published last year. The NTA/TII
proposal is now to immediately move forward on two fronts: developing MetroLink from
Charlemont to Swords and also completing the Green Line Capacity Enhancement Project already
underway. It is now proposed to defer the third element of the previous proposal, which is to tie-in
the Metro with the existing Luas Green Line and extend Metro services southward along that line.
The Green Line Capacity Enhancement project includes:
lengthening of the 26 existing Green line trams from 43m to 55m, significantly increasing
their passenger capacity;
procurement of eight new 55m-long trams to cater for the forecast increased passenger
demand to 2027; and
extension of the Sandyford Depot to accommodate the maintenance of the longer trams.
As part of Project Ireland 2040, the funding priority in relation to the DART Expansion Programme is
to ensure delivery of the non-tunnel elements of the programme over the next ten years. The initial
sequencing of investment will focus on:
electrification of the Northern Line to Drogheda;
electrification of Kildare Line to Hazelhatch;
electrification of Maynooth Line to Maynooth and M3 Parkway;
better utilisation of the Phoenix Park Tunnel;
purchase of additional bi-mode rail fleet and
other measures such as re-signalling and junction/station changes.
Project Ireland 2040 in Dublin
Page | 7
Work on developing tender documentation and train specifications for the proposed bi-mode fleet of rail vehicles is progressing. It is expected that the formal fleet acquisition tender process will be initiated in the coming months and that the fleet manufacturing contract will be awarded either at the end of this year or the start of next year.
3.5 National Strategic Outcome 5 – A Strong Economy, supported by Enterprise, Innovation and Skills
A competitive, innovative and resilient enterprise base is essential to provide the jobs and
employment opportunities for people to live and prosper in all regions. Achieving the ambitious
employment targets in the National Planning Framework in the context of increased global
uncertainty, Brexit and technological disruption, underlines the importance of building competitive
regional clusters and generating an uplift in enterprise export competitiveness to secure sustainable
jobs and growth.

3.5 National Strategic Outcome 6 – High-Quality International Connectivity As an island, continued investment in our port and airport connections to the UK, the EU and the
rest of the world, is integral to underpinning international competitiveness. It is also central to
responding to the challenges as well as the opportunities arising from Brexit.
The Second Parallel Runway Project at Dublin Airport, will provide increased runway capacity and
support wider economic development as part of Project Ireland 2040.
Dublin Port is progressing a c. €230 million infrastructural investment at the port to accommodate
larger sea-going vessels and to increase capacity.
Irish Aviation Authority a new visual control tower at Dublin Airport is also in development to facilitate tower control services in a parallel runway environment.
3.6 National Strategic Outcome 7 – Enhanced Amenity and Heritage
Project Ireland 2040 recognises the value of cultural heritage as a key component of, and contributor
to, the attractiveness and sustainability of our cities, towns, villages and rural areas in terms of
developing cultural creative spaces, private inward investment, and attracting and retaining talent
and enterprise.
The National Cultural Institutions will undertake a €460 million phased investment programme over
ten years specifically focused on investment in Ireland’s iconic cultural centres. This will include
renovation work on the National Library, National Archives and Natural History Museum.
Appraisal, planning and design work will also be delivered on flagship projects at the National
Concert Hall, the Chester Beatty Library, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of
Ireland, Kildare Street and the National Theatre with a view to moving to the construction phase
over the duration of the National Development Plan.
Sports

3.6 National Strategic Outcome 8 – Climate-Resilient Society
The National Planning Framework (NPF) highlights the centrality of this NSO to all other elements of
spatial policy. The themes highlighted in the NPF are focused on the role of spatial policy in
influencing where we live, where we work, and how we travel. These are all directly relevant to the
pattern of energy use and in particular the current level of harmful greenhouse gas emissions to
which Ireland is committed to achieving substantial reductions.
The first year of Project Ireland has also seen major investment by the commercial state sector in
energy. EirGrid and ESB have two major investments planned in the area. The West Dublin Project is
a proposed new electricity substation in the area of Grange Castle Business Park which will connect
to the existing 220kV line that runs from Inchicore to Maynooth.
The Dublin North Fringe Project is the proposed development of a new 220kV electricity station to
reinforce the supply of electricity to the Dublin north city and county area. From the Climate Action
Fund, there has been an allocation of €20m to develop the Dublin District Heating System, utilising
waste heat from the Poolbeg Incinerator to heat homes and businesses. Another €4.5m is being
allocated to South Dublin County Council to develop a district heating system.
There are nineteen flood relief schemes currently underway or planned for the Dublin region,
including schemes for the Camac, Dodder, Poddle and in the Sandymount and Loughlinstown areas.
Four Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs) were established in 2018 to facilitate effective climate
action at regional and local level. The CAROs are being operated by a lead Local Authority in four
different regions around the country. The four Dublin Local Authority areas are covered by the
Dublin Metropolitan Region CARO, which is operated by Dublin City Council.
Homes
Grants to improve home energy efficiency are available nationwide. A number of these were
expanded in 2018, increasing the grant amounts available and introducing new grants for renewable
heating systems in homes. Free home energy upgrades are also available to households on lower
incomes.

Public Sector
Since 2017, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE) has
funded two partnership pathfinder programmes – SEAI/DES Retrofit Programmes in schools and
SEAI/OPW Retrofit Programme in OPW Buildings. These partnership programmes are delivering
energy upgrades in central government buildings and in schools. The fundamental objective of each
is to test approaches, build best practice and capacity, and develop a scalable model for large energy
retrofit investment which can be replicated throughout the wider public sector and schools.
For 2018, €12.6m funding was provided which contributed to the retrofit of 69 buildings nationally,
including those in table 10d.

3.9 National Strategic Outcome 9 – Sustainable Management of Water and other Environmental Resources The National Planning Framework (NPF) highlights the centrality of our sustainable water resources
to underpin our environmental and economic well-being into the future against the backdrop of the
significant deficits in the capacity and quality of our current provision.
There are currently 31 water and waste water projects in progress in Dublin e.g. the Swords
Sewerage Scheme and Wastewater Treatment Works that will deliver an upgraded wastewater
treatment plant for Swords and its surrounding area which currently has an existing wastewater
treatment plant that is operating above capacity. This newly upgraded plant will be capable of
handling the area’s fast growing population but will also protect the Broadmeadow Estuary, a
valuable local amenity.
