1. Project Ireland 2040

This document sets out the projects and programmes which are being planned and delivered in the

North-East as part of the public investment detailed in Project Ireland 2040 - the Government’s

National Planning Framework (NPF) and National Development Plan (NDP).

Project Ireland 2040 set out ten National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs), built around the over-arching

themes of well-being, equality and opportunity. This document sets out the main achievements,

under each NSO in 2019, for the North-East region.

These documents serve to highlight the diverse range of investment being made by the State across

the country under Project Ireland 2040 – a list of the major projects in the North-East 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. Progress against National Strategic Outcomes 2.1 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.

Urban regeneration is reviving Cavan Town Centre, the Long Walk Quarter in Dundalk, the Westgate

area of Drogheda, Dublin Street in Monaghan Town, Ballybay, Ballyjamesduff, Clones, Ardee and

Carrickmacross Town Centres.

There were 518 social housing new builds in the North-East in 2019 with more planned in 2020.

In line with the national increase in new houses being built, there was a total of 1,091 new dwelling completions in the North-East in 2019. Table 1: Social Housing Completion in 2019

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 the North-East, these include:

Drogheda, Dundalk, Cavan and Monaghan.

The URDF is a key part of Project Ireland 2040 with 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’ that was set out in Project Ireland 2040.

In total, there were 4 successful applicants from the North-East for the first round of the Urban

Regeneration and Development Fund in 2018. The closure of second call applications was extended

to 29 May 2020, given the Covid-19 crisis.

2.2 National Strategic Outcome 2 – Enhanced Regional Connectivity A core priority under Project Ireland 2040 is the essential requirement to enhance and upgrade

accessibility between urban centres of population and their regions, in parallel with the initiation of

compact growth of urban centres.

Growth enablers for the Dublin Belfast Corridor include improved accessibility and service by rail,

road and communication between Dublin and Belfast.

One of the road projects currently in Project Ireland 2040 is the Ardee Bypass which will serve to

reduce congestion and delays within the town. The project is due to be completed in 2021. The

proposed scheme will be a Type 2 Single Carriageway and comprise six road junctions, including a

proposed roundabout on the N2, and two river bridge structures.

Improvements to thoroughfares, including access roads and services into Cootehill Industrial estate.


6 | P a g e

2.3 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 (NPF) is imperative to achieving the full potential of a broad range of strategic

outcomes detailed in the National Development Plan (NDP). 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.

Project Ireland 2040 is supporting sustainable rural jobs through the restoration of Ardee Castle,

further positioning Louth as a tourist destination; delivering a new community-run Enterprise Centre

with high quality office space in Castleblayney, and a new technology Park in Cootehill.

As part of Project Ireland 2040, the Government has committed to providing an additional €1 billion

for a new Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) over the period 2019 to 2027. The Fund

will provide investment to support rural renewal, strengthen and build resilience in rural

communities and assist in the regeneration of 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.

2 projects were approved under the second call.

2.4 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. Continued investment in public transport

will be a focus under Project Ireland 2040.

The Dart Expansion Programme will provide a core, high-capacity transit system for the region and

will deliver a very substantial increase in peak-hour capacity on all lines from Drogheda. In 2019,

planning and design continued in relation to the overall Dart Expansion programme.

2.5 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 Project Ireland 2040 in the context of increased global uncertainty, Brexit,

the response to Covid-19 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.

The Enterprise Development Agencies continued to support an innovative and resilient enterprise

base in 2019.

2.6 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 North-East will benefit from its close access to Dublin Airport and the ongoing construction of

the North runway and upgrades at Dublin Port.


12 | P a g e

2.7 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.

Heritage

Key projects in the North-East include the improvement of the condition and visitor experience at

National Monument sites such as Brú na Bóinne.

Waterways Ireland will undertake investments in County Monaghan to re-open part of the Ulster

Canal.

2.8 National Strategic Outcome 8 – Climate-Resilient Society

Project Ireland 2040 highlights the centrality of this National Strategic Outcome (NSO) to all other

elements of spatial policy. The themes highlighted in the NPF focus 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.

There are 8 flood relief schemes currently planned for Cavan, Louth and Monaghan, including

Dundalk, Carlingford and Greenore and Drogheda.

The second year of Project Ireland 2040 has also seen major investment by the commercial state

sector in energy, involving ESB/EirGrid. In Dundalk, work has commenced on a new connection for

WuXi Biologics at 20kV, which is a significant investment in the area. ESB also has a major wood-pole

replacement programme (nationwide), which is a major security of supply project at medium voltage

level (10 kV & 20 kV). Pre-construction work is continuing to develop and progress the various

aspects of the proposed North - South Interconnector Project, the largest project in the region.

Four Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs) were established in 2018 to facilitate effective climate

action at regional and local level. The CAROs are operated by a lead Local Authority in four different

regions around the country. Counties Cavan, Louth and Monaghan are covered by the Midlands and

Eastern Region CARO, which is operated by Kildare County Council.

Public Sector

Since 2017, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE) has

funded Partnership Pathfinder Programmes to deliver energy upgrades to public sector

buildings. 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. During 2019, three partnership programmes were

funded - SEAI/DES Retrofit Programme in schools, SEAI/OPW Retrofit Programme in OPW Buildings

and SEAI/HSE Retrofit Programme.

For 2019, a total of €14.5m funding was provided, €9.1m from DCCAE, which contributed to the

retrofit of 95 buildings nationally.

2.9 National Strategic Outcome 9 – Sustainable Management of Water and other

Environmental Resources

Project Ireland 2040 highlights the centrality of our sustainable water resources to the

implementation of the National Development Plan 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 reflecting historic underinvestment.

There are currently 13 water and wastewater projects in progress in the North-East e.g. Drogheda

Water Main Replacement Project whereby Irish Water is investing €3.2 million to replace 6km of old

water mains in Drogheda and surrounding areas.

Access to quality primary education, health services and childcare, relative to the scale of a region,

city, town, neighbourhood or community is a defining characteristic of attractive, successful and

competitive places. Project Ireland 2040 provides significant public investment in education and

health infrastructure to meet current infrastructure needs, cater for an estimated population growth

of one million and respond to Ireland’s changing demographic profile.

There were 3 schools projects delivered in the North-East in 2019.
