My period as Lord Mayor of Dublin has been enormouslyfulfilling. It has been a time of transitions; of endings and new beginnings.
The enormous growth Dublin has seen since the Celtic Tigerhas greatly changed the character of the City. The planning and management of this growth has been one of the Council’sgreatest challenges. 2004 brought us to the end of the firstDublin City Development Plan. It also saw the completion ofthe first Dublin City Council Corporate Plan and the last councilwith a dual mandate.
Our new council, the “Democratic Alliance for Change” is nowwell established and approaching the end of its first year: it hasreally made its mark. We have begun to seriously tackle ourobjectives and made real headway.
In January 2005 Council adopted a new Development Plan forthe City that will shape the changing face of the City into thefuture. A new Corporate Plan was also adopted which will leadDublin City Council forward. The formation of both these plansfollowed extensive consultation with all stakeholders within theCity to ensure that the development of both the organisationand the City is as those affected by it choose it to be.
Another major achievement of this year was the establishmentof the Lord Mayor’s Commission on Crime and Policing. TheCouncil responded to the public’s anxiety and took action toensure that the new policing Bill would reflect these concerns.The Commission produced a report, which put forwardsolutions to the identified issues of public order, anti-socialbehaviour, and drugs and alcohol abuse. I believe theCommissions work will significantly influence the newcommunity policing structures currently being planned.
Looking forward, I feel confident that the Council will continue to cope excellently with all the challenges of leadership. I wouldlike to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in Counciland all the staff whose hard work and determination are visiblein the everyday running of the City.
Michael ConaghanLord MayorArdmheára
Comhlíonadh cuid mhór le linn mo thréimhse mar Ardmhéaraar Bhaile Átha Cliath. Le linn na tréimhse sin is iomaí rud ad’athraigh nó ar tháinig tús nó deireadh lena ré.
Tháinig fás ollmhór faoi Bhaile Átha Cliath ó thus ré an TíogairCheiltigh agus is mór a d’athraigh carachtar na Cathrach dábharr sin. Is ar na dúshláin ba mhó riamh ag an gComhairle a bhí pleanáil agus bainistiú an fháis sin. Sa bhliain 2004thángamar chuig deireadh ré chéad Phlean FhorbarthaChathair Bhaile Átha Cliath. Sa bhliain chéanna críochnaíodhchéad Phlean Corparáideach Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile ÁthaCliath agus bhí an Chomhairle dheireanach ann a raibh an dámhandáid ag cuid de na baill.
Tá bonn maith faoin gComhairle nua ar a dtugtar ‘anComhaontas Daonlathach le haghaidh Athrú’ agus í agtarraingt ar dheireadh a céad bhliana: agus tá clú bainte amach aici cheana. Táimid i ndiaidh tabhairt faoinár gcuspóirígo dáiríre agus tá dul chun cinn mór déanta againn.
In Mí Eanáir 2005 ghlac an Chomhairle le Plean nua Forbarthadon Chathair ar a mbunófar forbairt leanúnach na Cathrachisteach sa todhchaí. Glacadh le Plean Corparáideach nua abheidh mar threoir ag Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliathagus í ag dul chun tosaigh. Ceapadh an dá phlean sin i ndiaidhcomhairliúchán uileghabhálach a dhéanamh le gach páirtíleasmhar sa Chathair chun a chinntiú go mbeidh forbairt naComhairle agus na Cathrach go díreach mar is mian leo siúd a bheidh faoi thionchar na forbartha sin.
Rinneadh éacht eile i mbliana nuair a bunaíodh Coimisiún an Ardmhéara ar Choireacht agus ar Phóilíneacht. D’aithin an Chomhairle an chúis imní a bhí ag an bpobal agus rinnebeart chun a chinntiú go mbeadh an Bille nua póilíneachta agfreagairt don imní sin. Chuir an Coimisiún tuarascáil ar fáil inarmoladh dóigheanna chun na ceisteanna aitheanta sin aréiteach a bhaineann le riail phoiblí, iompar frithshóisialta agusle drugaí agus mí-úsáid alcóil. Creidim go rachaidh obair anChoimisiúin i bhfeidhm go mór ar na struchtúir phóilíneachtadon phobal atá á bpleanáil faoi láthair.
Agus mé ag breathnú chun tosaigh, tá mé cinnte go leanfaidhan Chomhairle de bheith ag déileáil go han-mhaith le gachdúshlán ceannaireachta a thiocfaidh feasta. Ba mhaith liom an deis seo a thapú chun mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le mochomhghleacaithe ar an gComhairle agus leis na baill foirne uile a bhfuil rian a gcuid oibre crua agus a gcuid seasmhachtale feiceáil ar an dóigh a reáchtáiltear an Chathair gach lá.

This is the beginning of a new cycle for the City Council
with the publication of both a new corporate plan and new
development plan. The plans will shape the development
of the City Council and the City itself into the next decade.
It is good, to look back and see how much we have already
achieved before planning the next stage in the growth of the
City. Most of the key projects identified in earlier plans are now,
or soon will be completed. The opening of the Dublin Port
Tunnel in 2006 and removal of heavy goods vehicles from City
streets will offer new opportunities to enjoy our City’s quays
and other public spaces.
Major redevelopment plans for Heuston, the Markets,
Poolbeg and other areas will provide new attractive locations
for commercial and residential development within the City.
Parnell square can and should become an enhanced cultural
destination with the extended Dublin City Gallery, the
development of new gardens and a world-class literary
museum. New retail locations are currently being developed
on both sides of the river in the city centre.
I would like to thank the members of the City Council, many of
them newly elected in June 2004, for their support. Thanks
also to all Dublin City Council staff who are working hard to
deliver the infrastructure and services this City needs.
John Fitzgerald
Dublin City Manager
Bainisteoir Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath
Tá tús á chur le ré nua sa Chomhairle Cathrach agus plean nua
corparáideach agus plean nua forbartha á bhfoilsiú againn. Is
ar na pleananna sin a bhunófar forbairt na Comhairle Cathrach
agus na Cathrach féin sa deich mbliana atá romhainn.
Is maith an rud breathnú siar go bhfeicimid cá mhéad
atá bainte amach againn sula bpleanálfaimid an chéad
chéim eile i bhforbairt na Cathrach. Críochnaíodh bunús
na bpríomhthionscadal ar socraíodh orthu sna pleananna
roimhe seo nó is gairid go gcríochnófar iad. Nuair a osclófar
Tollán Chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath in 2006 agus nuair a
bhainfear feithiclí tromearraí de shráideanna na Cathrach
tabharfar deiseanna nua dúinn sult a bhaint as céanna
na Cathrach agus as áiteanna poiblí eile.
Nuair a chuirfear ollphleananna athfhorbartha i bhfeidhm
do cheantair Heuston, na Margaí agus an Phoill Bhig agus
do cheantair eile, beidh áiteanna tarraingteacha nua ar fáil
le haghaidh forbartha mar limistéir thráchtála agus mar
limistéir chónaitheacha taobh istigh den Chathair. Féadfaidh
Cearnóg Parnell bheith ina háit chultúir a mbeidh an-tóir uirthi,
agus ba cheart go mbeadh, ar an ábhar go bhfuil Dánlann
Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath, an Hugh Lane, á leathnú, go
bhfuil gairdíní nua á bhforbairt ann chomh maith le músaem
litríochta a mbeidh clú domhanda uirthi. Tá ionaid nua
mhiondíola á bhforbairt faoi láthair ar an dá thaobh den
abhainn i lár na cathrach.
Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le baill na Comhairle
Cathrach, ar toghadh a lán dóibh i Mí an Mheithimh 2004, as
an tacaíocht a thug siad dom. Tá mé fíorbhuíoch freisin do
gach ball foirne de chuid na Comhairle Cathrach a bhíonn ag
obair go crua chun an bonneagar agus na seirbhísí a chur ar
fáil a bhíonn de dhíth ar an gCathair seo.

Dublin is one of the fastest growing regions in Europe.
This growth has placed great demands on us all. Dublin
City Council and the other local authorities in the region
have been working hard to ensure the future viability of
the region.
We have a new development plan. The City
Development Plan 2005-2011 is the blueprint for the
planning and development requirements of the City
for the next six years. It sets out our priorities for the
physical development of the City and its suburbs. It sits
within the context of the strategy for the development of
Greater Dublin and responds both to the National Spatial
Strategy and the Regional Planning Guidelines for the
Greater Dublin Area. The critical importance of Dublin
as a national and international economic driver is
recognised. Also identified is the need for consolidation
in the physical growth of the City. The plan seeks to
integrate an economic, cultural and social vision while
achieving necessary densities. It protects the future
of Dublin City Centre as the heart and pulse of the
Dublin Region.
A major objective of the development plan is to build
more homes in the City. The demand for new homes in
and around Dublin has never been greater and providing
homes for Dubliners has become an increasingly
important function of Dublin City Council. In 2004,
over 16,000 new homes were provided in the four
Dublin local authorities areas of which over 4,500 were
in the City area and an estimated 36,000 new homes
are planned by 2011 in these areas. The council provides
social housing for those in need, and makes more homes
available at affordable prices for those who wish to
purchase a home. Many sites around the City have
been made available by the City Council and central
government, and are being developed for housing. The
Council also provides assistance to voluntary housing
bodies to build homes. The last remaining Greenfield
sites in the City, at the North Fringe (North of N32
Malahide Road Junction) and at Pelletstown (Navan
Road/Ashtown) are currently being developed. The North
Fringe lands when developed in conjunction with Fingal
County Council will provide a new sustainable town, and
homes for a potential population of 40,000 people.

Ceann de na réigiúin is mó fás san Eoraip atá i mBaile
Átha Cliath. Is mór an brú atá an fás sin a chur orainn
uile. Tá Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath agus na
húdaráis áitiúla eile sa réigiún i ndiaidh bheith ag obair go
crua chun a chinntiú go mbeidh inmharthanacht an
réigiúin slán sa todhchaí.
Tá plean forbartha nua againn. Is é atá i bPlean Forbartha
na Cathrach 2005-2011 gormchló le haghaidh riachtanais
phleanála agus forbartha na Cathrach go ceann na chéad
sé bliana eile. Leagtar amach ann na tosaíochtaí againn
le haghaidh fhorbairt na Cathrach agus na bhfo-bhailte.
Rinneadh an plean i gcomhthéacs na straitéise forbartha
do Mhórcheantar Bhaile Átha Cliath agus tá sé ag
freagairt don Straitéis Náisiúnta Spásúlachta agus do na
Treoirlínte ar Phleanáil Réigiúnach do Mhórcheantar
Bhaile Átha Cliath araon. Aithnítear ann tábhacht mhór
Bhaile Átha Cliath mar ghléas tiomána na
heacnamaíochta ar bhonn náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta.
Aithnítear ann fosta an gá atá le comhdhlúthú agus an
chathair ag fás go fisiceach. Déantar iarracht sa
phlean an fhís eacnamaíochta, chultúir agus shóisialta
a chomhtháthú agus na dlúis daonra riachtanacha á
mbaint amach. Tugtar cosaint ann do Lárcheantar
Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath mar chroí agus mar chuisle
Réigiún Bhaile Átha Cliath sa todhchaí.
Is príomhchuspóir de chuid an phlean fhorbartha é
tuilleadh teaghaisí a thógáil sa Chathair. Ní raibh an
t-éileamh ar theaghaisí riamh níos mó ná mar atá anois
i mBaile Átha Cliath agus ina thimpeall agus ar an ábhar
sin tá an obair a bhaineann le soláthar teaghaisí do
mhuintir na Cathrach ag éirí níos tábhachtaí mar fheidhm
de chuid Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath. Sa
bhliain 2004 chuir ceithre údarás áitiúla Bhaile Átha Cliath
os cionn 16,000 teaghais nua ar fáil a raibh níos mó ná
4,500 dá líon i gceantar na Cathrach agus táimid ag
beartú 36,000 teaghais nua a thógáil faoin mbliain 2011.
Soláthraíonn an chomhairle tithíocht shóisialta dóibh siúd
atá i ngátar, agus cuireann sí tuilleadh teaghaisí ar fáil ar
phraghas réasúnta dóibh siúd ar mian leo teaghais a
cheannach. Sholáthair an Chomhairle Cathrach agus an
DUBLIN IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING REGIONS IN EUROPE. TÁ BAILE ÁTHA CLIATH AR NA RÉIGIÚIN IS GAISTE FÁS SAN EORAIP.

/11 While providing more homes is important, the City
Council also plays an important role in community
building and the creation of sustainable and vibrant
neighbourhoods. We work in partnership with local
communities and help set up and provide support to
a wide range of community activities e.g. sports
development, childcare, tenant training, assistance
to older people to live independently and the many
children’s summer activities programmes. When building
communities we are more mindful than in the past of
provision of leisure facilities and work is well underway
on the construction of the Ballyfermot Leisure &
Community Centre and the Ballymun Sports &
Leisure Centre.
Our regeneration and renewal programmes are aimed
at reinforcing existing communities and developing new
communities and neighbourhoods around the City. The
regeneration of Ballymun, now in its mid-stages, has
changed the physical landscape with a new Main Street
and Leisure and Civic centres. We have worked hard to
create a good social mix with student accommodation
and public and private housing.
The influx of more people into the region inevitably
puts more pressure on existing services. The provision
of clean drinking water, removal of wastewater and
waste disposal services are integral for the long-term
sustainability of new communities. The Ringsend
Wastewater Treatment Plant, now fully operational,
caters for the drainage needs of the region. The
North Fringe Sewer collects wastewater form Finglas,
Ballymun, Baldoyle and Sutton and will cope with
the future demand.
Dublin is experiencing an intense level of renewal and
expansion. Our many projects around the City, some
of which are complete, are tangible proof of this activity.
The newly extended boardwalk and O’Connell Street
Plaza make it an enjoyable experience for people to
walk around the City. Plans for Parnell Square, Dublin’s
lost Georgian Square, will restore it to former glory and
it could become the jewel of the north side of Dublin City.
With the two Luas lines now open and Dublin Port
Tunnel ready to open in 2006, the City Centre will
undoubtedly benefit from less traffic and a more
pedestrian friendly environment.
This Annual Report is structured to report on the
objectives/targets that we set ourselves in 2001 in
the Dublin City Council Corporate Plan 2001-2004.
The new Corporate Plan 2005-2009, published in early
2005, was prepared on an inclusive basis and involved
consultation with Councillors, staff and customers. Each
individual department’s business plan flows out from
these objectives. Business plans are kept under regular
review and reported to the City Council. The Minister
for the Environment, Heritage & Local Government
has recently introduced a series of national performance
indicators to compare and contrast performance of local
authorities across the Country. Dublin City Council
national service indicators were produced in 2004 (see
Appendix 3). Thus the City Council is now in a position
to assess and monitor its performance compared to
other local authorities.

agus teaghaisí ann do dhaonra de 40,000 b’fhéidir.
Cé gur tábhachtach tuilleadh teaghaisí a sholáthar, tá
ról tábhachtach ag an gComhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha
Cliath san obair a ghabhann le neartú pobail agus le
cruthú comharsanachtaí bríomhara inbhuanaithe. Bímid
ag obair i gcomhar leis an bpobal áitiúil agus cuidímid leo
réimse leathan de ghníomhaíochtaí pobail a bhunú agus
tacaíocht thabhairt dóibh sin m.sh. forbairt spóirt, cúram
leanaí, oiliúint tionóntaí, na cláir iomadúla
ghníomhaíochtaí samhraidh do leanaí, agus cúnamh a
thabhairt do dhaoine scothaosta saol neamhspleách a
bheith acu. Agus muid i mbun neartú pobail bímid níos
meabhraí anois ná mar a bhí i soláthar saoráidí fóillíochta,
agus tá an obair go maith chun tosaigh a bhaineann le
tógáil Ionad Fóillíochta agus Pobail Bhaile Formaid agus
Ionad Spóirt agus Fóillíochta Bhaile Munna.
Tá na cláir athghiniúna agus athnuachana againn dírithe
ar athneartú pobal atá ann cheana agus ar fhorbairt
pobal agus comharsanachtaí nua timpeall na Cathrach.
De bharr athghiniúint Bhaile Munna, nach bhfuil ach
leathdhéanta go fóill, tá Príomhshráid nua ann, Ionad
Fóillíochta agus Ionad Cathartha agus athrú ar
thírdhreach fisiceach na háite. Táimid i ndiaidh bheith
ag obair go crua chun meascán maith sóisialta a
chruthú idir chóiríocht do mhic léinn, thithíocht phoiblí
agus thithíocht phríobháideach.
De réir mar a thagann daoine isteach sa réigiún is
amhlaidh a chuirtear tuilleadh brú ar na seirbhísí atá ann,
gan aon dul as. Má tá bonn inmharthana le bheith faoi
na pobail nua sin san fhadtréimhse caithfidh na seirbhísí
seo a leanas bheith mar dhlúthchuid dóibh: uisce óil glan
a sholáthar, fuíolluisce a thabhairt ar shiúl, agus dramhaíl
a dhiúscairt. Bíonn gléasra Cóireála Fuíolluisce na Rinne,
atá anois faoi lán seoil, ag freastal ar riachtanais draenála
an réigiúin. Bailíonn séarach an Cholbha Thuaidh
fuíolluisce as Fionnghlas, Baile Munna, Baile Dúill agus
as Cill Fhionntain agus beidh sé in ann déileáil leis an
éileamh sa todhchaí.
Tá an dúrud oibre ar siúl i mBaile Átha Cliath chun an
chathair a athnuachan agus a mhéadú. Tá cruthúnas air
sin le feiceáil sna tionscadail iomadúla dár gcuid timpeall
na cathrach agus roinnt díobh siúd críochnaithe cheana
againn. Nach mór an pléisiúr a bhaineann daoine as
siúlóid thart ar an gcathair anois nuair atá Plaza Shráid
Uí Chonaill ann agus ó fadaíodh an chiseach chláir le
gairid. Nuair a chuirfear na pleananna le haghaidh
Chearnóg Parnell i bhfeidhm, an Chearnóg Sheoirseach
sin a ligeadh i ndearmad i mBaile Átha Cliath, beidh
athchóiriú uirthi agus í mar a bhí i mbuaic a glóire
agus d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú gurb í seoid an taoibh
thuaisceartaigh de Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath í feasta.
Ós rud é go bhfuil dhá líne Luas anois ar oscailt agus
Tollán Chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath ar tí oscailt in 2006,
beidh níos lú tráchta i lár na Cathrach, gan amhras,
agus rachaidh sin chun sochair dó mar dhea-cheantar
do choisithe.
Tá an Tuarascáil Bhliantúil seo leagtha amach chun
go ndéanfar tuairisciú ar na cuspóirí/spriocanna a
chuireamar romhainn in 2001 i bPlean Corparáideach
Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath 2001-2004.
Ullmhaíodh an plean nua, Plean Corparáideach 2005 –
2009, a foilsíodh go luath in 2005, ar bhonn cuimsitheach
agus chuathas i gcomhairle le comhairleoirí, le baill foirne
agus le custaiméirí. Is as na cuspóirí sin a eascraíonn
plean gnó gach roinne aonair. Coinnítear na pleananna
gnó faoi athbhreithniú rialta agus tuairiscítear chuig an
Chomhairle Cathrach iad.
Tá an tAire Comhshaoil, Oidhreachta agus Rialtais Áitiúil
i ndiaidh sraith Táscairí Feidhmíochta a thabhairt isteach
ar na mallaibh chun comparáid agus codarsnacht a
dhéanamh idir leibhéil feidhmíochta na rialtas áitiúil ar
fud na tíre. Ceapadh Táscairí Feidhmíochta náisiúnta
Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath in 2004 (Féach
Aguisín 3). Ar an ábhar sin tá an Chomhairle Cathrach
anois in ann faireachán agus measúnú a dhéanamh ar an
bhfeidhmíocht aici i gcomparáid le húdaráis áitiúla eile.

The City Council works closely with its neighbouring
local authorities and other agencies, to provide social and
affordable housing and sustainable neighbourhoods for
people living in the Dublin region.
The Council has a central role in enhancing the City’s
communities by building sustainable and vibrant
neighbourhoods, supporting community and civic
participation and making the City inclusive and
accessible to all. Communities have been enhanced
through the development of new neighbourhoods,
the regeneration of existing areas and the extension
of community and sports facilities throughout the City.
The area-based delivery of our services has allowed us
to bring services closer to communities.
SOCIAL HOUSING
The Council provides social housing to meet the
accommodation needs of people who cannot afford
their own homes. During 2004, 376 social homes were
completed and we continue to utilise infill sites to create
a good quality residential environment in the City centre.
The new Dominick Street apartments are an example of
this, constructed on a former warehouse site. The
scheme contains 32 two-bedroom, and 14 one-bedroom
units, each with a private balcony or enclosed courtyard.
The Voluntary Housing Sector is an increasingly
important partner of the Council in providing social
housing and we assisted this sector by providing land
and/or capital funding. In 2004, 206 homes were
provided by this sector.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
During 2004, the building of 207 Affordable homes
commenced on our own lands with 166 being completed.
Included in this is the provision by Voluntary Housing
Associations, the City Housing Initiative and TOGAIL of
new apartments and houses at Poolbeg Quay, Ringsend
and Finglas respectively.

Bíonn an Chomhairle Cathrach ag obair go dlúth i
bpáirt leis na húdaráis áitiúla, atá in aice linn, agus le
gníomhaireachtaí eile chun tithíocht shóisialta ar
phraghas réasúnta agus comharsanachtaí inbhuanaithe
a sholáthar do dhaoine a chónaíonn i réigiún Bhaile
Átha Cliath.
Tá ról lárnach ag an gComhairle san obair a ghabhann
le saol phobail na Cathrach a fheabhsú, agus í ag cruthú
comharsanachtaí bríomhara inbhuanaithe, ag soláthar
deiseanna do dhaoine bheith rannpháirteach lena chéile
mar shaoránaigh agus mar phobal, agus ag cruthú
seirbhísí sa Chathair a chuimsíonn cách agus a bhfuil
teacht ag cách orthu. Neartaíodh an pobal áitiúil mar
a leanas: cruthaíodh comharsanachtaí nua; athghineadh
ceantair atá ann; agus méadaíodh na saoráidí pobail
agus spóirt ar fud na Cathrach. De bharr go mbímid
ag soláthar na seirbhísí againn ar bhonn ceantair, bímid
ábalta na seirbhísí a thabhairt níos cóngaraí don
phobal áitiúil.
TITHÍOCHT SHÓISIALTA
Cuireann an Chomhairle tithíocht shóisialta ar fáil chun
go ndéanfar freastal ar riachtanais chóiríochta na ndaoine
sin a bhfuil costas teaghaise dá gcuid féin thar a
n-acmhainn. I rith 2004, críochnaíodh 376 teaghais
shóisialta agus leanamar de bheith ag úsáid láithreán
a ndearnadh inlíonadh orthu chun timpeallacht
ardchaighdeáin chónaithe a chruthú i lár na cathrach.
Is eiseamláir dá leithéid iad teaghaisí nua Shráid
Dhoiminic a tógadh ar láithreán iarstórais. Tá 32 aonad
dhá sheomra leapa agus 14 aonad aon seomra leapa
sa scéim agus balcóin phríobháideach nó cúirt faoi iamh
ag gach aonad. Tá an Earnáil Tithíochta Dheonach ag éirí
níos tábhachtaí mar chomhpháirtí de chuid na Comhairle
agus í ag soláthar tithíocht shóisialta, agus mar chúnamh
don earnáil sin, thugamar talamh agus/nó maoiniú caipitil
dóibh, agus in 2004 chuir siad 206 teaghais ar fáil.

Development also commenced on 288 units, being
supplied by private developers under Part V of the
Planning Acts 2000-2002, 179 of which were affordable
units and 109 social units. A further 50 units have
commenced at Finglas under the Affordable Housing
Initiative on lands provided by the State under the
Sustaining Progress Partnership Agreement.
AREA REGENERATION
The refurbishment of our housing estates and flat
complexes is part and parcel of our major regeneration
programme together with the social regeneration
element. During 2004, Fatima Mansions, O’Devaney
Gardens, and St. Michael’s Estate were advanced under
a public/private partnership initiative. The construction
of phase one of the regeneration of Fatima Mansions also
got underway and 132 units at Basin Street and 96 units
at Tyrone Place were also refurbished. Remedial works
completed at Darndale, involved the refurbishment of
78 houses, the building of seven new houses and
a new access road.
BALLYMUN REGENERATION
Six years into the Ballymun Masterplan (1998), the
physical landscape has changed enormously. The Main
Street is now unrecognisable from how it looked then,
the Leisure and Civic Centres are now complete and
operational, and the gateway buildings to the south
(student accommodation and housing scheme) and
the Santry Cross development to the north, announce
to the casual observer that a new town is developing
in Ballymun. The first tower block, Pearse Tower, was
demolished in August 2004 while Sean Mc Dermott
Tower was imploded in spectacular fashion in
March 2005.
HOMELESS SERVICES
The homeless service facilitates the delivery of an
integrated and responsive service to the homeless.
Working closely with other agencies, this is done by
providing a range of accommodation and offices. A
new initiative commenced in August 2004, when three
private emergency accommodations were converted
into supported transitional accommodation, catering
for a maximum of forty-three single persons.
Within the Dublin City Council hostels, a structured
‘key-worker’ programme was introduced for each
resident, tailored to each individual’s need. The Night
Bus service continues to meet between twenty and thirty
homeless persons each night and organises, where
possible, hostel accommodation for them.
TRAVELLER ACCOMMODATION
In conjunction with Ballymun Regeneration, the
construction of 26 homes commenced in 2004 for use
as traveller accommodation. Community relations will be
fostered within the traveller community with the proposed
employment of two community workers, whose major
priority will be the setting up of residents associations.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
During 2004, community development teams worked
with 200 tenants’ and residents’ associations throughout
the City, supported 66 summer projects and 47 summer
activities programmes and financially supported 78
Senior Citizen and Active Retirement groups. The
Older Persons’ Unit assisted over 3,500 people to live
independently in 98 Older Persons’ Communities around
the City and 215 tenants availed of training courses
during the year.

207 teaghais ar phraghas réasúnta ar ár gcuid tailte féin
agus críochnaíodh 166 díobh. Ina measc siúd tá teaghaisí
agus tithe nua ar Ché an Phoill Bhig, sa Rinn agus i
bhFionnghlas, a sholáthair na Cumainn Tithíochta
Dheonacha, an Tionscnamh Tithíocht Chathrach
agus TOGAIL. Cuireadh tús leis an obair ar 288 aonad
atá forbróirí phríobháideacha a sholáthar faoi Chuid V
de na hAchtanna Pleanála 2000 – 2002 agus is aonaid
ar phraghas réasúnta 179 díobh siúd agus is aonaid
shóisialta 109 eile. Cuireadh tús le hobair ar 50 aonad
breise i bhFionnghlas, faoi Thionscnamh na dTeaghaisí
ar Phraghas Réasúnta, ar thailte a chuir an Stát ar fáil
faoi Chomhaontú na Comhpháirtíochta Dul chun Cinn
a Bhuanú.
ATHGHINIÚINT CEANTAR
Is dlúthchuid den ollchlár athghiniúna againn é an
t-athchóiriú a dhéantar ar na heastáit agus ar na
hollionaid árasán againn chomh maith leis an athghiniúint
shóisialta. I rith 2004 rinneadh dul chun cinn san obair ar
Árais Fatima, ar Ghairdíní Uí Dhuibheannaigh agus ar
Eastát Mhichíl faoi thionscnamh, ar comhpháirtíocht é
idir an earnáil phoiblí agus an earnáil phríobháideach.
Cuireadh tús fosta leis an obair thógála ar chéim a haon
d’athghiniúint Árais Fatima agus athchóiríodh 132 aonad i
Sráid an Taiscumair agus 96 aonad i bPlás Thír Eoghain
chomh maith. Críochnaíodh an obair dheisiúcháin i nDarn
Dál inar athchóiríodh 78 teach, agus tógadh seacht
dteach nua agus bóthar nua isteach.
ATHGHINIÚINT BHAILE MUNNA
I ndiaidh sé bliana d’fheidhmiú Mháistirphlean Bhaile
Munna (1998), tá athrú ollmhór ar thírdhreach fisiceach na
háite. Ní aithneodh duine an tSráid Mhór atá anois ann ar
an tsráid a bhí ann roimhe. Tá an tIonad Fóillíochta agus
an tIonad Cathartha críochnaithe agus in úsáid, agus tá
na foirgnimh iontrála ar an taobh theas (cóiríocht na mac
léinn agus an scéim tithíochta) agus forbairt Chros
Sheantraibh ar an taobh thuaidh ag fógairt don
bhreathnóir fánach go bhfuil baile nua ag fabhrú i mBaile
Munna. In 2004 leagadh an chéad túrbhloc, Túr an
Phiarsaigh, agus i Mí an Mhárta 2005 inphléascadh
Túr Sheáin Mhic Dhiarmada ar mhodh suaithinseach.
SEIRBHÍSÍ DO DHAOINE GAN DÍDEAN
Is tríd an tseirbhís do dhaoine gan dídean a thugtar
cúnamh ar bhonn comhtháite freagrúil do dhaoine gan
dídean. Cuirtear oifigí agus réimse cóiríochta ar fáil agus
muid ag obair go dlúth i bpáirt le gníomhaireachtaí eile.
Cuireadh tús le tionscnamh nua i Mí Lúnasa 2004 nuair
a rinneadh oiriúnú ar thrí áit chóiríochta éigeandála
phríobháideacha chun ionaid chóiríochta
idirthréimhseacha a dhéanamh astu a bhfuil tacaíocht
fúthu agus iad ag freastal ar 43 duine aonair ar a mhéad.
Taobh istigh d’iostais Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha
Cliath tugadh isteach príomhchlár struchtúrtha oibre a
saincheapadh do riachtanais gach duine aonair. Leanann
an tseirbhís Bus Oíche de bheith ag teagmháil le idir fiche
agus tríocha duine gan dídean gach oíche agus is tríthi a
eagraítear, nuair is féidir, cóiríocht in iostas dóibh.
CÓIRÍOCHT DON LUCHT SIÚIL
I gcomhar le scéim Athghiniúna Bhaile Munna, cuireadh
tús in 2004 le hobair thógála ar 26 teaghais a bheidh in
úsáid mar chóiríocht don lucht siúil. Moltar go bhfostófar
beirt oibrí pobail chun caidreamh pobail a chur chun cinn,
agus beidh sé mar thosaíocht mhór acu cumainn
cónaitheoirí a bhunú.
FORBAIRT POBAIL
I rith 2004 bhí foirne forbairt pobail ag obair i gcomhar
le 200 cumann tionóntaí/cónaitheoirí ar fud na Cathrach
agus thug siad tacaíocht do 66 tionscadal samhraidh
agus do 47 clár gníomhaíochtaí samhraidh agus thug

SPORTS DEVELOPMENT
In 2004 there were in excess of 24 sports development
programmes targeting young people at risk of drug use
across the City. Over the last number of years we have
been involved in the construction of a number of state-
of-the-art multipurpose Youth/Community and Sports
Centres culminating in the opening in 2004 of:
St. Catherine’s Sport Centre & Foyer, Marrowbone Lane,
Cabra Parkside Community/Sports Centre, Donnycarney
Youth & Community Centre and Donore Youth &
Community Centre.
RENTAL ACCOMMODATION SCHEME
The Rental Accommodation Scheme is a new initiative
announced by government in 2004, whereby local
authorities will meet the long term housing needs of
social welfare rent supplement recipients. Under the
new arrangements local authorities will provide an
accommodation based response and use a range of
measures, including social housing where appropriate.
They will also enter into direct contractual arrangements
with accommodation providers in the private rental
sector, to provide good quality and affordable
accommodation for rent supplement recipients who
are assessed as having a long-term housing need.
Dublin City Council has been identified as one of the lead
authorities for which implementation is to begin in 2005.
These new arrangements present a new challenge to us,
but offer a unique opportunity to bring synergy to housing
policy and improve the regulation and quality of housing
in the private rented sector.
DUBLIN CITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The Board continued to implement its ten-year
integrated strategy, Dublin - A City of Possibilities.
2004 saw the establishment of Social Inclusion Task
Forces in each of the five areas of the City Council.
They are preparing, on an interagency partnership basis,
integrated and targeted social inclusion plans. These
plans will fulfil local social inclusion targets set out in the
National Anti-Poverty Strategy. The Board made various
submissions to the review of the City Development Plan
2005-2011. The plan published in early 2005, takes
account of one of the Board’s key themes, that of
developing a sense of neighbourhood in the many
villages and communities throughout the City.
A series of very successful Road Shows were held
in shopping centres around the City. Manned by
Community Forum staff and locals, the aim was to
energise the electorate for the June local elections
and encourage more participation in local democracy.
Circle of Leadership
A Creative Competitiveness Conference was held by the
Board in 2004 to draw businesses together with a focus
on harnessing their competitive potential in an enlarged
Europe. The Circle of Leadership is a dublin.ie Online
Network that facilitates business involvement with the
City. Dublin City Development Board also facilitated the
first Dublin Chinatown Festival at Smithfield Plaza and
jointly organised with the St. Patrick’s Festival committee,
a symposium – What it means to be Irish – on values in
modern Ireland.
Learning & Education through Activity
The LEAPS (Learning & Education through Activity
& Participation in Sports) Showcase was officially
launched in February 2004 and its primary aim is to
address educational disadvantage. Community groups
and Dublin citizens participated in the largest ever
community e-event, held at the Civic Offices, to
encourage Dubliners to get online and become active
members of Dublin’s e-community. Childcare Online
was also launched, giving the latest news and
information on childcare for parents and providers.

Spóirt ilchuspóireach den chineál is nua-aimseartha
agus tháinig an obair sin chun críche nuair a osclaíodh
na háiteanna seo a leanas in 2004: Ionad Spóirt agus

SCÉIM CÓIRÍOCHTA CÍOSA
Is tionscnamh nua í an Scéim Cóiríochta Cíosa a
d’fhógair an Rialtas in 2004 agus is tríthi a dhéanfaidh
údaráis áitiúla freastal ar riachtanais fhadtréimhseacha
tithíochta na ndaoine sin a fhaigheann forlíonadh cíosa
leasa shóisialaigh. Faoi na socruithe nua bainfidh na
húdaráis áitiúla úsáid as an gcóiríocht atá acu agus iad
ag déileáil leis an gceist. Beidh réimse beart in úsáid,
agus tithíocht shóisialta san áireamh nuair is cuí.
Déanfaidh siad socruithe díreacha conartha le soláthróirí
cóiríochta san earnáil phríobháideach chíosa chun
cóiríocht ardchaighdeáin ar phraghas réasúnta a shuí
leo siúd a fhaigheann forlíonadh cíosa agus a meastar
riachtanas fadtréimhseach tithíochta a bheith acu. Tá
Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath á haithint mar
cheann de na húdaráis cheannais a gcuirfear tús le
feidhmiú na scéime sin ina gceantar in 2005. Is dúshlán
nua dúinn na socruithe nua sin ach is deis ar leith dúinn
iad fosta chun feabhas a chur ar an bpolasaí tithíochta
agus ar rialú agus ar chaighdeán tithíochta san earnáil
phríobháideach chíosa.
BORD FORBARTHA CHATHAIR BHAILE ÁTHA CLIATH
Lean an Bord de bheith ag feidhmiú a straitéis
comhtháite deich mbliana, Baile Átha Cliath – Cathair
na bhFéidearthachtaí. In 2004 bunaíodh Tascfhórsa um
Chuimsiú Sóisialta i ngach ceann de na cúig cheantar
de chuid na Comhairle Cathrach. Agus iad i gcomhar
le gníomhaireachtaí eile, tá siad ag ullmhú pleananna
comhtháite a bhfuil sainspriocanna leo le haghaidh
cuimsiú sóisialta. Trí fheidhmiú na bpleananna sin
bainfear amach na spriocanna i gcuimsiú sóisialta
atá leagtha amach sa Straitéis Náisiúnta
Frithbhochtaineachta. Chuir an Bord aighneachtaí
éagsúla faoi bhráid ghrúpa athbhreithnithe Phlean
Forbartha na Cathrach 2005 -2011. Foilsíodh an plean go
luath in 2005 agus cuirtear sa chuntas ann príomhthéama
amháin de chuid an Bhoird, is é sin, gur chóir an tuiscint
a chothú sna sráidbhailte agus sna pobail iomadúla ar
fud na cathrach gur comharsanachtaí iad.
Reáchtáladh sraith Seónna Bóthair ar éirigh go maith
leo in Ionaid Siopadóireachta thart ar an gCathair. Bhí
foireann an Fhóraim Phobail agus muintir na háite ina
mbun, agus is é a aidhm a bhí leo an toghlach a
spreagadh in am do na toghcháin i Mí an Mheithimh
agus iad a ghríosú le bheith níos rannpháirtí sa
daonlathas áitiúil.
An Ciorcal Ceannaireachta
In 2004 reáchtáil an Bord Comhdháil faoin téama, Cumas
Cruthaitheach Iomaíochta, chun gnóthaí a tharraingt le
chéile agus béim a leagan ar úsáid an chumais
iomaíochta atá iontu san Aontas Eorpach atá i ndiaidh
méadú. Is éard atá i gCiorcal na Ceannaireachta Líonra
ar Líne de chuid dublin.ie a chuidíonn leis an lucht gnó
páirt a bheith acu in obair na Comhairle Cathrach.
Chuidigh Bord Forbartha Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath san
obair a ghabh le reáchtáil na chéad fhéile Síní de chuid
Bhaile Átha Cliath agus bhí sé comhpháirteach le Coiste
Phátrún na Féile Pádraig in eagrú siompóisiam faoi
luachanna mhuintir Éireann an lae inniu ar ar tugadh
“Cad is ciall le bheith d’Éireannach?”
Foghlaim agus Oideachas trí Ghníomhaíocht
I Mí Feabhra 2004 seoladh go hoifigiúil an taispeántas
LEAPS (Foghlaim agus Oideachas trí bheith Gníomhach
agus Páirteach i Spórt) agus is é an phríomhaidhm atá
leis tabhairt faoi mhíbhuntáiste oideachasúil.
Ghlac grúpaí pobail agus muintir na Cathrach páirt sa
ríomhócáid phobail ba mhó riamh a tionóladh in Oifigí
na Cathrach chun muintir Bhaile Átha Cliath a spreagadh
le dul ar líne agus bheith ina mbaill ghníomhacha de
ríomhphobal Bhaile Átha Cliath. Seoladh Cúram Leanaí
ar Líne, rud a chuimsíonn an nuacht agus an t-eolas is
déanaí faoi chúram leanaí do thuismitheoirí agus do
sholáthraithe.

As an urban planner, the City Council has the
challenging task of strategically managing the planning
& development requirements of the City. This is done
within a policy context and a legal strategic framework -
The Dublin City Development Plan. The review of the
1999 Plan, including further public consultation on
amendments to the Draft Dublin City Development Plan
for 2005-2011, continued throughout the year and the
final Draft was presented to the City Council in December
2004. The Council formally adopted the plan on 14th
February 2005 and it came into effect on 14th March 2005.
Over the last 6 years Dublin has seen a major extension
in its urban renewal programme. In the Inner City, this
includes the implementation of six integrated area
plans (IAPS), the consolidation and expansion of the
Docklands, and the development of major Land Use and
Framework Plans for the Markets, Heuston, South Bank
and Digital Hub. In the suburbs, the implementation of
the Ballymun IAP, the largest regeneration programme in
the state, and the commencement of early phases of
the North Fringe, Pelletstown and Park West Framework
plans, indicate how the achievement of more sustainable
densities can be combined with the creation of new
urban places.
The Dublin City Development Plan sits in a hierarchy of
plans under the National Spatial Strategy and the
Regional Planning Guidelines. The overall vision for the
City as outlined in these plans and strategies is to
enhance the quality of life and experience of the city
residents, workers, commuters and visitors. The Dublin
City Development Plan 2005-2011 sets out a new spatial
strategy to steer future growth in both the inner and
outer City. The strategy consists of three key initiatives:
- Expansion and consolidation of the City Centre; the
continued renewal and regeneration of the city core
in an eastward and westward direction

Mar phleanálaithe uirbeacha bíonn obair dhúshlánach
roimh an gComhairle Cathrach, agus í ag bainistiú
riachtanais phleanála agus forbartha na Cathrach.
Déantar é sin taobh istigh de chomhthéacs polasaí agus
de chreat straitéiseach dlí – Plean Forbartha Chathair
Bhaile Átha Cliath. Leanadh d’athbhreithniú Phlean 1999
i rith na bliana, agus mar chuid de sin chuathas i
gcomhairle leis an bpobal arís faoi leasuithe ar
Dhréachtphlean Forbartha Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath
do 2005-2011 agus cuireadh an Dréacht deireanach faoi
bhráid na Comhairle Cathrach i Mí na Nollag 2004. Ghlac
an Chomhairle leis an bplean go foirmiúil ar 14 Feabhra
2005 agus tháinig sé in éifeacht ar 14 Márta 2005.
Cuireadh go mór le clár athnuachan uirbeach Bhaile
Átha Cliath le sé bliana anuas. Maidir leis an Lárcheantar,
áirítear na nithe seo a leanas ann: feidhmiú sé Phlean
Ceantair Comhtháite (IAPS), na Dugthailte a
chomhdhlúthú agus a mhéadú, Pleananna móra Úsáid
Talún agus Creatphleananna a cheapadh do na Margaí,
do cheantar Heuston, don Bhruach Theas agus don Mhol
Digiteach. Sna fo-bhailte, is léir, ó feidhmíodh Plean
Ceantair Comhtháite (IAP) Bhaile Munna, an clár
athghiniúna is mó sa stát, agus ó cuireadh tús le feidhmiú
na luathchodanna sin de na chreatphleananna don
Cholbha Thuaidh, do Bhaile Pheiléid agus don Pháirc
Thiar, gur féidir dlúis daonra níos inbhuanaithe a bhaint
amach agus ceantair nua uirbeacha á gcruthú.
Déantar aicmiú de réir tábhachta ar phleananna faoin
Straitéis Náisiúnta Spásúlachta agus faoi na Treoirlínte
ar Phleanáil Réigiúnach, agus Plean Forbartha Chathair
Bhaile Átha Cliath san áireamh. Is é an fhís fhoriomlán
atá ann don Chathair, mar a mhínítear í sna pleananna
agus sna straitéisí sin, go gcuirfear feabhas ar
chaighdeán beatha agus ar thaithí saoil cónaitheoirí,
oibrithe, comaitéirí agus cuairteoirí sa Chathair.
Tá straitéis nua spásúlachta á leagan amach i bPlean
Forbartha Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath 2005-2011 chun

- Framework Development Areas; developing and
regenerating key strategic areas which are situated
in the inner and outer City
THE CITY CENTRE RETAIL PLAN
(HENRY STREET/GRAFTON STREET AREAS)
The central strategy of this plan is to develop and
promote Dublin City Centre as the leading retail and
lifestyle destination in the Greater Dublin Area and to
ensure that Dublin City Centre maintains and
strengthens its position in the retail hierarchy.
THE POOLBEG PROJECT
This Framework Plan was put on display in early 2005,
and the focus is on the Poolbeg Penninsula to develop
a new character area and urban quarter. Large brownfield
sites have become available for development. The plan
aims to link the many diverse components essential for
the life of the City, ranging from energy generation and
water treatment to recreation to commercial activity
and residential homes for the future.

fás na Cathrach a stiúradh feasta sna lárcheantair agus
sna fo-bhailte. Tá trí phríomhthionscnamh sa straitéis,
mar atá:
- Lár na cathrach a chomhdhlúthú agus a mhéadú;
ceartlár na cathrach a athnuachan agus a athghiniúint
go leanúnach soir agus siar
- Na Príomhionaid Uirbeacha: na príomhionaid

sna fo-bhailte a fhorbairt agus a athghiniúint
PLEAN MIONDÍOLA LÁR NA CATHRACH (CEANTAR
SHRÁID ANRAÍ/CEANTAR SHRÁID GRAFTON)
Is é príomhstraitéis an phlean sin Lár Chathair Bhaile
Átha Cliath a fhorbairt agus a chur chun cinn mar an áit
miondíola agus stíl bheatha is mó a bhfuil tóir uirthi i
Mórcheantar Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus a chinntiú go
gcoinneoidh agus go neartóidh Lár na Cathrach an
seasamh maith sin i ngnóthaí miondíola feasta.
TIONSCADAL AN PHOILL BHIG
Cuireadh an Creatphlean sin ar taispeáint go luath in
2005 agus tá bhéim á cur ar leithinis an Phoill Bhig chun
ceantar nua uirbeach den scoth a fhorbairt inti. Cuireadh
láithreáin mhóra athfhorbraíochta ar fáil le forbairt. Is é
an aidhm sa phlean na nithe éagsúla iomadúla sin atá
riachtanach do shaol na Cathrach idir ghiniúint fuinnimh,
chóireáil uisce, ghníomhaíochta áineasa agus tráchtála,
agus teaghaisí cónaithe a nascadh don todhchaí.

WATER MANAGEMENT
The rapid growth in population, as well as commercial
and industrial development in the region over the last
few years has placed great demand on all our services
including water services. 40,000 new dwellings and over
5,500 new manufacturing jobs couldn’t have been
created in the region in recent years, if it wasn’t for the
high quality of our water services. Water is a core service,
essential to the City and the health of its citizens.
Dublin City Council is the largest producer in Ireland,
producing over 70% of the domestic and non-domestic
water requirements for the region. It is delivered to over
1.3m customers across Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and
parts of Meath.
NORTH FRINGE WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
The major infrastructural development of the North Fringe
Sewer, now complete, was instrumental in making
serviced land available for development in the north east
of the City Council area, and adjoining land in south
Fingal area. This land is currently being developed to
provide new towns. In 2004, to meet the water demands
of these new homes, work commenced on the North
Fringe Water Supply Scheme. This J50m investment will
also significantly improve the level of service to existing
properties in the north City.
FLOOD PROTECTION
Ongoing flood alleviation measures continue apace, with
the River Tolka Phase 1, Botanic Avenue Area completed
in 2004. The Dublin Coastal Flood Protection Study 2004
– Future Flood Protection for the City – has identified a
capital investment of J100m to make the City safe.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
The City Council has implemented many initiatives to
tackle Dublin’s waste problem. Waste management is
an issue that concerns us all and should be an individual
responsibility. Taking responsibility and Reducing,
Reusing & Recycling waste in the home is the key to

UISCE A BHAINISTIÚTá éileamh mór i ndiaidh teacht ar na seirbhísí uile againn,agus seirbhísí uisce san áireamh, de bharr gur tháinig fásmór ar an daonra agus ar fhorbairt tráchtála agus tionscailsa réigiún le blianta beaga anuas. Níorbh fhéidir 40,000teaghais nua a thógáil agus 5,500 post monarúcháin achruthú sa réigiún le blianta beaga anuas murachardchaighdeán na seirbhísí uisce againn. Bunseirbhís atá sa tseirbhís uisce agus í riachtanach don Chathairagus do shláinte mhuintir na cathrach. Is í ComhairleCathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath an soláthróir is mó uisce inÉirinn agus í ag soláthar os cionn 70% den uisce baileagus neamhbhaile atá riachtanach don réigiún.Soláthraítear é do bhreis agus 1.3milliún custaiméir ar fud Bhaile Átha Cliath, Chill Dara, Chill Mhantáin aguscodanna den Mhí.
AN SCÉIM SOLÁTHAR UISCE DON CHOLBHA THUAIDHÓs rud é go bhfuil an fhorbairt mhór bhonneagair sin,Séarach an Cholbha Thuaidh, anois críochnaithe, tá talamh á chur ar fáil a bhfuil seirbhísí ann lena fhorbairt in oirthuaisceart cheantar na Comhairle Cathrach agus igceantar dheisceart Fhine Gall atá tadhlach leis. Tá an
talamh sin á fhorbairt faoi láthair chun bailte nua asholáthar. Cuireadh tús le hobair ar an Scéim SolátharUisce don Cholbha Thuaidh in 2004 chun freastal arriachtanais uisce na dteaghaisí nua sin. Infheistíodh J50milliún sa scéim agus cuirfidh sin feabhas mór ar leibhéalna seirbhísí don mhaoin atá ann cheana i dtuaisceart na Cathrach.
COSAINT IN ÉADAN TUILTETá bearta á gcur i gcrích go leanúnach chun baol tuilte amhaolú, agus críochnaíodh Céim 1 den obair ar an Tulcha i gceantar Ascaill Gharraithe na Lus in 2004. Chun anChathair a dhéanamh slán táthar a rá sa Staidéar faoiChósta Bhaile Átha Cliath a Chosaint ar Thuilte 2004 –Cosaint ar thuilte sa Chathair sa todhchaí - gur gáinfheistíocht chaipitil J100 milliún a dhéanamh.

ultimate success in the waste campaign. In 2004 the
Dublin Waste Management Plan continued to progress
waste recycling and diversion from landfill. Recycling
services were greatly expanded with the roll out of the
green bin/green bag service to the vast majority of
households. A second large recycling centre was opened
at Ringsend and 50 new Glass Banks were installed.
Property developers are required, as part of the planning
process, to include waste and recycling facilities in all
new developments, as well as to submit plans for the
management and disposal of construction and demolition
waste. Arrangements were also put in place for the
introduction of a “pay-by-use” system for grey waste
which commenced in January 2005. These included
tagging arrangements for bags and Eurobins and
registration arrangements, including provision of
the necessary hardware and software, for wheelie bins.
DUBLIN FIRE BRIGADE
Dublin Fire Brigade prides itself on the service it delivers
and on its quick response to incidents throughout the
region. It is a little known fact that the City Council Fire
Service responds to all fire and ambulance calls in the
Dublin area and all fire calls in the rest of Leinster, Cavan
and Monaghan. The opening, in 2004, of the new Eastern
Regional Control Centre will continue to ensure the
delivery of a quality service in line with best international
practice. Major developments in the City i.e. Dublin Port
Tunnel and Luas have an impact on the Fire Service in
the development of best practice and provision of
training in fire safety. The Dublin Fire Brigade O’Brien
Institute training facility provides comprehensive training
to, amongst others, Dublin Fire Brigade staff and other
Fire Brigades.

The demand for ease of travel for people, efficient
movement of goods and general accessibility around the
City has never been greater. This is all fuelled, to a large
extent by the economic success of the region.
The challenge for the organisation over the last five
years, has been to optimise the use of a finite City road
network, and to try to provide for the needs of all users
of the system including business, residents, commuters,
shoppers and disabled people.
With the expansion of the region forecast to continue,
planned traffic management continues to be an important
priority. Dublin City Council will continue to develop the
Regional Traffic Management Strategy with neighbouring
local authorities. The Roads and Traffic Department
maintains the fabric of the City road network and
provides and maintains the City public lighting system. In
2004 there was a continuation of the rollout of the Quality
Bus Network. Smooth traffic flow was assisted by the
development of the City’s Intelligent Transportation
System. Pedestrian crossings were upgraded to full MID
standards to address the needs of the mobility impaired.
The two Luas lines were opened and integrated into the
City’s traffic system. Major changes to the traffic
management system in the St. Stephens Green area
have greatly assisted in reducing congestion in that
area. Additional cycle facilities were provided with the
continued rollout of the City Centre Network Project.
Continued investment in traffic calming has further
improved safety and residential amenity in
residential areas.

Ní raibh riamh an oiread ráchairte agus atá anois ag
daoine ar bheith in ann taisteal go héasca agus earraí a
aistriú go héifeachtach timpeall na Cathrach, gan trácht
ar theacht a bheith acu ar na nithe atá uatha go
ginearálta sa Chathair. Is é an rath atá ar eacnamaíocht
an réigiúin is cúis go mór mór leis an ráchairt sin.
Is é an dúshlán a tugadh dúinn mar eagraíocht le cúig
bliana anuas an úsáid is fearr is féidir a bhaint as líonra
teoranta bóithre cathrach chun iarracht a dhéanamh
freastal ar riachtanais úsáideoirí uile an chórais, agus
lucht gnó, cónaitheoirí, comaitéirí, lucht siopadóireachta
agus daoine faoi mhíchumas san áireamh.
Ós rud é go bhfuiltear á thuar go leanfar de mhéadú
an réigiúin, beidh bainistíocht phleanáilte tráchta mar
mhórthosaíocht leanúnach againn. Leanfaidh Comhairle
Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath de bheith ag forbairt na
Straitéise Réigiúnaí Bainistíochta Tráchta i gcomhar leis
na húdaráis áitiúla atá in aice linn.
Bíonn an Roinn Bóithre agus Tráchta ag cothabháil líonra
bóithre na Cathrach agus ag soláthar chóras soilse poiblí
na Cathrach agus ag coinneáil bail air. In 2004 leanadh
den obair a ghabh leis an Líonra Ardchaighdeáin Bus a
thabhairt isteach. Ceapadh Córas Iompair Cliste na
Cathrach rud a d’éascaigh gluaiseacht réidh an tráchta.
Rinneadh uasghrádú ar na trasrianta coisithe go dtí
caighdeán iomlán MID chun freastal ar riachtanais daoine
mallghluaiste. Osclaíodh an dá líne Luas agus glacadh
isteach i gcóras tráchta na Cathrach iad. Laghdaíodh an
plódú tráchta go mór i gceantar Fhaiche Stiabhna nuair
a rinneadh athruithe móra ar an gcóras bainistíochta
tráchta ann. Cuireadh saoráidí breise rothaíochta ar fáil
mar chuid de Thionscadal Líonra Lár na Cathrach atá á
thabhairt isteach go leanúnach. Leantar den obair a
ghabhann le ceansú tráchta agus dá bharr sin tá ceantair
chónaithe níos sábháilte arís agus níos fearr.

DUBLIN PORT TUNNEL
Construction work progressed on the Port Tunnel during
2004 and the tunnel will be open for business in 2006.
A draft Heavy Goods Vehicles Management Strategy for
Dublin City was prepared in 2004 and is due for
implementation to coincide with the opening of the
tunnel. The aim of the strategy is to reduce the numbers
of HGV’s accessing the City Centre. Meanwhile work is
ongoing on the East Wall Road, as this will form an
important link between the Dublin Port Tunnel and
the City road network.

Arts, Culture and Leisure are integral to the very fabric
of a City and provide a variety of lifestyle choices both to
the individual and the local community. The last couple
of years saw the culmination of a lot of hard work with
the publication of a cohesive and coherent Arts and
Cultural Strategy for Dublin City in 2004 and Sports and
Recreation Strategy in 2003. The action plan for Arts and
Culture is to enhance and strengthen the areas of arts
and culture in the City. The Sports & Recreation Strategy
has identified marketing and promotion of sports facilities
in the City as a major area for focus, with priority given to
the promotion of sport particularly amongst older people
and children.
ARTS & CULTURE
The new state-of-the-art Arts & Dance Centre, Foley
Street is due for completion in spring 2005 and will
become a permanent home for the Dublin City Arts
Office, along with offering studio space for artists and a
purpose built dance centre. The Arts Office continued to
develop fruitful partnerships with other agencies in the
City, resulting in a number of high quality arts projects
and programmes. The conversion of the Red Stables in
St. Anne’s Park for use as an arts and crafts centre is
on target and due for completion in late spring 2005.
LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVE SERVICES
To coincide with the centenary of Bloomsday 1904,
the service delivered “Mapping Joyce” a major exhibition,
created in-house and exhibited internationally. In its ninth
year and still one of the largest awards of its kind, the
International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award was won by
Tahar Ben Jelloun with his novel “The Blinding Absence
of Light”. The development of the new wing of the Dublin
City Gallery, the Hugh Lane, commenced in 2004 and is
on target for completion by the end of 2005. The new
wing, situated on the footprint of the old National
Ballroom, will provide more gallery space to hang
the collection.

SPORTS & RECREATION
With the increasing importance of fitness for everybody,
Dublin City Council’s focus has been on accessibility to
a wide range of sports and recreational choices for
local communities. A number of the infrastructural
requirements under the Sports Strategy have already

September. The centre provides an 8-lane tartan running
track, a fully equipped gym and aerobics studio.
The stadium also provides five floodlit 5-a-side all
weather pitches and a full sized football pitch.
BALLYFERMOT LEISURE AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
The construction of the new leisure and community
centre at Le Fanu Park, Ballyfermot commenced in

DEMOCRATIC ROLE
In June 2004, a new City Council was elected. Nineteen
of the 52 incoming Councillors were elected for the first
time. A further 12 Councillors were re-elected who had
been co-opted in 2003/2004 following the mandatory
resignation of dual mandate holders. The new members
were invited to attend I.P.A. training courses, provided in
December 2004, to gain knowledge/experience of the
Local Government system. All new Councillors were
given individual training, as requested, in I.T. and the
Lord Mayor availed of external I.T. training.
THE CORPORATE POLICY GROUP
Report on Activities:
Meetings: 12
Position Papers: 5
Policies submitted by SPC’s & Approved at Council: 3
Consulted on: Annual Budget, Corporate Plan
The reason for the low level of policy papers submitted
by the Strategic Policy Committees (SPC’s) to the City
Council in 2004 was that the committees died with the
previous City Council. Re-establishment, after the June
Local Elections took a period of four months, and the
newly formed SPC’s convened in November 2004.
It is estimated that, in 2004, the City Council at its
monthly meetings spent 70% (80% in 2003) of it’s time in
discussion of strategic citywide issues. Local issues were
raised more frequently than 2003 due to fewer SPC
meetings being held, as stated above, and the fact that
2004 was a “Local Elections Year” with Councillors,
before and after the elections in June, primarily focussed
on local/area matters. Statutory deadlines for the
production of the Electoral Register in 2004 were met.
The Media are e-mailed the agendae for Council
meetings and attend all of the City Council, Area
Committee and some Strategic Policy Committee
meetings. Minutes of the monthly Council meetings
are accessible on www.dublincity.ie

Toghadh Comhairle Cathrach nua i Mí an Mheithimh
2004. Is den chéad uair a toghadh naonúr déag de na
52 Comhairleoir nua. Atoghadh 12 Chomhairleoir breise a
comhthoghadh in 2003/2004 i ndiaidh dóibh siúd a raibh
dhá mhandáid acu éirí as faoi shainordú. Tugadh
cuireadh do na baill nua freastal ar chúrsaí traenála de
chuid an Fhorais Riaracháin a reáchtáladh i Mí na Nollag
2004 chun go bhfaigheadh siad eolas agus taithí ar an
gcóras Rialtais Áitiúil. Tugadh traenáil aonair do gach
Comhairleoir nua, de réir mar a iarradh, i dteicneolaíocht
an eolais agus fuair an tArdmhéara traenáil sheachtrach
san ábhar céanna.

An Buiséad Bliantúil, an Plean Corparáideach
Is beag páipéar polasaí a chuir Coistí Beartais Straitéisí
faoi bhráid na Comhairle in 2004 ar an ábhar gur éag na
coistí sin nuair a bhain an Chomhairle Cathrach roimpi

sular athbhunaíodh na gCoistí Beartais Straitéisí agus
tháinig na coistí nua sin le chéile i Mí na Samhna 2004.

2003). Tógadh ceisteanna áitiúla níos minice ná mar a
rinneadh in 2003 de bharr gur tionóladh níos lú cruinnithe
de chuid na gCoistí Beartais Straitéisí, mar atá ráite
thuas, agus gur “Bliain na dToghchán Áitiúil” a bhí ann
in 2004 agus go raibh Comhairleoirí ag díriú a n-airde go
príomha ar cheisteanna áitiúla roimh an toghcháin agus
ina dhiaidh. Baineadh amach na spriocdhátaí le haghaidh
an Clár Toghthóirí a sholáthar in 2004. Seoltar clár
chruinnithe na Comhairle chuig na Meáin agus déanann
siad freastal ar gach cruinniú de chuid na Comhairle
Cathrach, de chuid na gCoistí Ceantair agus ar roinnt
cruinnithe de chuid na gCoistí Beartais Straitéisí. Is féidir

AN tSEIRBHÍS IS FEARR IS FÉIDIR A SHOLÁTHAR

Is é an Plean Corparáideach, mar a glacadh leis le
déanaí, an príomhdhoiciméad straitéiseach gnó le
haghaidh oibríochtaí na Comhairle Cathrach le linn
thréimhse 5 bliana na Comhairle. Tá gach Roinn i
ndiaidh Plean Gnó bliantúil nua a ullmhú agus é
bunaithe ar na príomhthéamaí atá leagtha amach sa
Phlean sin. Déantar cur síos sna pleananna gnó sin ar
chláir oibre gach roinne aonair agus agus mínítear iontu,
ar a seal, an dóigh a gcuirfear aidhmeanna an Phlean
Chorparáidigh chun cinn.
I measc na dtosaíochtaí atá ag Comhairle Cathrach
Bhaile Átha Cliath tá an gá lena chinntiú go leanfaimid
de bheith ag cur an leibhéil seirbhíse is airde is féidir ar
fáil don chustaiméir. Mar gheall ar an dul chun cinn sa
teicneolaíocht bíonn i bhfad níos mó roghanna ag
custaiméirí nuair bhíonn cinneadh le déanamh acu faoin
dóigh a rachaidh siad i dteagmháil leis an gComhairle. Is
féidir bualadh le duine, an post nó an guthán a úsáid, nó
facs, téacs nó r-phost a chur. Caithfimid a chinntiú go
mbeimid in ann seirbhísí a sholáthar don chustaiméir ar
cibé slí is caoithiúla leis. Is mór an cúnamh é san obair an
líonra sin d’Oifigí Ceantair, mar go dtugann sé roghanna
do chustaiméirí faoi na háiteanna ar féidir leo teagmháil
phearsanta a dhéanamh le hoifigigh na Comhairle, más

QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE
The newly adopted Corporate Plan 2005 - 2009 is the
main strategic business document for the operations
of the City Council for the five-year life of the Council.
Based on the main objectives set out in this plan, each
department has prepared a new annual business plan.
These business plans detail the individual departmental
work programmes and indicate how they in turn, advance
the aims of the corporate plan.
One of the priorities of Dublin City Council is to ensure
that we continue to deliver the highest level of service
to our customer. With the advance of technology our
customers now have far more options when deciding to
make contact with the Council. These channels include,
personal meetings, post, phone, fax, text and email. We
must ensure that we are able to deliver services to them
through whichever channel they find most convenient.
The network of Area Offices assists in this by giving
options on where customers may make face-to-face
contact with Council officials. The new Call Centre,
opened in August 2004, ensures that the greatest
amount of information is available to a customer with
one simple phone call while the Customer Contact
Centre, opened in December 2004, provides a single
point of contact for callers to the Civic Offices. The
new corporate website, www.dublincity.ie launched
in 2005, ensures that customers choosing to interact
with the Council via the web will be assured of the most
up-to-date information in relation to council business.
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
The City Development Board works with many City
based agencies in implementing its ten-year strategy,
Dublin – A City of Possibilities 2002-2012. The strategy is
a guide to the social, economic and cultural development
in the city going forward. Online services are also
provided on www.dublin.ie. For example the online
network - the Circle of Leadership - which facilitates
business involvement in the City.
The Corporate Plan 2005-2009, adopted by City
Council in early 2005, was prepared following widespread
consultation, both internal and external. Representatives
from all categories of stakeholders in Dublin City Council
were interviewed, including such sectors as: Arts,
Business, Community, Childcare, Education, Residents,
Sport, State Services, Government Departments,
Professions, Retired, Statutory Agencies, Tourist, Trade
Unions, Unemployed, Voluntary, Youth as well as elected
members and staff of the City Council.
Workplace partnership in Dublin City Council has made
significant positive progress in 2004. An ambitious work
and training programme was designed and delivered in
keeping with the principles of the “Deepening Partnership
Strategy” and the new requirements placed on
management, trade unions and staff under the
“Sustaining Progress” agreement. Partnership has
proven its ability to include all stakeholders in a dialogue
that contributes to the delivery of inclusive, transparent
and consensus based decisions, for the benefit of Dublin
City Council, its staff and its customers.
HUMAN RESOURCES
The Human Resources Department provides an
integrated service to over 6,500 staff employed in the
organisation. It also supports the business needs of
the organisation and is to the forefront in ensuring
staff are developed to perform effectively the range
of roles expected.
Major competitions run during the year include that for
Firefighter which attracted 4,366 applicants and those
for our Customer Services Centre which opened in 2004.
In 2004, the Department received a national IITD award
for the Training and Development Strategy. Over the
course of the year, the Training & Development Unit
delivered 8,687 training days to a range of staff
across all disciplines.
Performance management was piloted in the HR
Department, Corporate Services Department and parts
of the Engineering Department and was deemed to be a
success. Valuable information was gained from the pilot
that will be of benefit in the roll out of this initiative to all
departments/areas in 2005.
The Staff Support Service provides a valuable service
for employees and their families providing self-help
information on a wide range of topics. During the year,
the Equality Office provided proactive leadership, advice
and assistance on equality issues. Two pieces of
legislation were launched in 2004 - the Equality Act
and the National Disability Bill.
The Health & Safety Section promoted a Health and
Safety Certificate Course via a “Virtual Learning
Environment” with U.C.D. and this was taught &
examined in house – A first for Dublin City Council in
the public sector arena. The Corporate Health & Safety
Office launched the Employee Safety Handbook in June
2004. A staff work life balance booklet was also produce
in 2004 and phase one of an integrated H.R. system was
also completed which will provide timely and valuable
management information.

2004 agus is tríd sin a chinntítear go mbíonn an méid
is mó faisnéis le fáil ag custaiméir i ndiaidh dó aon

osclaíodh i Mí na Nollag 2004 áit a mbíonn aon phointe
teagmhála amháin do dhaoine a thagann isteach in
Oifigí na Cathrach. Seoladh an láithreán corparáideach
nua www.dublincity.ie in 2005 agus is tríd a chinntítear
go mbeidh custaiméirí, a rachaidh i dteagmháil leis an
gComhairle ar an idirlíon, in ann an fhaisnéis is déanaí a
fháil faoi ghnó na Comhairle.
AG OBAIR I gCOMHPHÁIRTÍOCHT
Bíonn Bord Forbartha na Cathrach ag obair i gcomhar
le cuid mhór gníomhaireachtaí atá bunaithe sa chathair
agus é ag feidhmiú na straitéise deich mbliana sin aige -
Cathair na bhFéidearthachtaí 2002-2012. Treoir atá sa
straitéis faoi fhorbairt shóisialta, eacnamaíochta agus
chultúir na cathrach san am atá le teacht. Cuirtear
seirbhísí ar líne ar fáil fosta ag www.dublin.ie. Mar
shampla, tá an líonra ar líne ann - Ciorcal na
Ceannaireachta - a chuidíonn leis an lucht gnó páirt
a bheith acu in obair na Comhairle Cathrach.
Ullmhaíodh Plean Corparáideach 2005 – 2009 i ndiaidh
próiseas leathan comhairliúcháin taobh istigh den
Chomhairle agus taobh amuigh di, agus ghlac an
Chomhairle Cathrach leis go luath in 2005. Cuireadh
agallaimh ar ionadaithe de gach cineál páirtí leasmhar
de chuid Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus
ina measc siúd bhí na hearnálacha seo a leanas:
Na hEalaíona, Gnó, an Pobal, Cúram Leanaí, Oideachas,
Cónaitheoirí, Spórt, Seirbhísí Stáit, na Ranna Rialtais, na
Gairmeacha, Daoine ar scor, Gníomhaireachtaí Reachtúla,
Turasóirí, na Ceardchumainn, Daoine Dífhostaithe, an
tAos Óg agus an Earnáil Dheonach chomh maith le baill
thofa agus baill foirne na Comhairle Cathrach.
Rinneadh dul chun cinn mór i gcomhpháirtíocht na háite
oibre i Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath in 2004.
Ceapadh clár dúshlánach oibre agus traenála agus
cuireadh i bhfeidhm é i gcomhréir leis na prionsabail
sa straitéis sin “Comhpháirtíocht a Neartú” agus leis
na ceanglais a cuireadh ar na bainisteoirí agus ar na
ceardchumainn faoin gcomhaontú sin “Dul chun Cinn
a Bhuanú”. Tá sé cruthaithe sa chomhpháirtíocht gur
féidir na páirtithe leasmhara uile a chuimsiú i gcainteanna
agus gur cuídiú mór é sin nuair atá cinntí cuimsitheacha
trédhearcacha á ndéanamh atá bunaithe ar chomhaontú,
ar mhaithe le Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath, na
baill foirne aici agus na custaiméirí.
ACMHAINNÍ DAONNA
Cuireann an Roinn Acmhainní Daonna seirbhís
chomhtháite ar fáil do bhreis agus 6,500 ball foirne
atá fostaithe san eagraíocht. Bíonn sí ag freastal ar
riachtanais ghnó na heagraíochta agus bíonn sí ar thús
cadhnaíochta san obair chun a chinntiú go mbíonn na
baill foirne á bhforbairt sa dóigh go mbeidh siad ag
feidhmiú go héifeachtach sa réimse sin ról a mbeifear
ag dréim leis.
Reáchtáiltear comórtais mhóra le haghaidh post i rith
na bliana, amhail poist mar Fhear Dóiteáin (a fuair 4,366
iarratas) agus poist san Ionad Seirbhísí Custaiméara a
osclaíodh in 2004. Fuair an Roinn duais náisiúnta IITD
in 2004 mar gheall ar an Straitéis Traenála agus
Forbartha. I rith na bliana thug an tAonad Traenála agus
Forbartha 8,687 lá traenála do réimse ball foirne a bhain
le gach disciplín.
Reáchtáladh scéim phíolótach bainistíocht feidhmíochta
sa Roinn Acmhainní Daonna, sa Roinn Seirbhísí
Corparáideacha agus i gcodanna den Roinn
Innealtóireachta agus meastar gur éirigh go maith léi.
Fuarthas eolas maith as an scéim phíolótach a bheidh
tairbheach nuair a thabharfar an tionscnamh sin isteach
i ngach roinn/réimse in 2005.
Tugann an tSeirbhís Tacaíochta Foirne cuidiú mór
d’fhostaithe agus dá dteaghlaigh agus cuireann sí eolas
féinchabhrach ar fáil dóibh ar réimse leathan topaicí. I rith
na bliana chuir an Oifig Chomhionannais treoir, comhairle
agus cúnamh forghníomhach ar fáil faoi cheisteanna a
bhain le comhionannas. Seoladh dhá phíosa
reachtaíochta in 2004 – an tAcht um Chomhionannas
agus an Bille um Míchumas Náisiúnta.
Thug an Rannóg Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta tacaíocht
do Chúrsa Teastais Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta i
“dTimpeallacht Foghlama Fhíorúil” i gcomhar leis an
gColáiste Ollscoile, Bhaile Átha Cliath. Teagascadh an
cúrsa agus cuireadh lucht an chúrsa faoi scrúdú taobh
istigh den Chomhairle – an chéad uair a rinne an
Chomhairle a leithéid agus í mar chuid den earnáil
phoiblí. Sheol an Oifig Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta
Corparáidí an Lámhleabhar Sábháilteachta Fostaí i Mí
an Mheithimh 2004. In 2004 cuireadh leabhar ar fáil don
fhoireann faoin gcothromaíocht idir obair agus an
gnáthshaol agus críochnaíodh an chéad chéim den
chóras comhtháite Acmhainní Daonna, rud a sholáthróidh
faisnéis luachmhar thráthúil faoi bhainistíú na foirne.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
The introduction of a new Financial Management System
- Oracle eBusiness Suite and the move this year to full
accrual accounting has enabled us to improve the
transparency of budget and financial performance,
decision-making, public spending effectiveness and
allocation of funds.
This modern and user friendly corporate suite has the
capacity for improved information for decision making,
resource management and value for money initiatives. It
has introduced many new processes and efficiencies and
places Dublin City Council with a technological platform
to exploit opportunities from electronic commerce.
BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTING
The introduction of balance sheet accounting in the 2004
will benefit Dublin City Council by providing a more
transparent picture of all our assets and liabilities,
help us to identify the true costs of delivering services
and the amount of capital employed and help to develop
replacement policies and future cash flow requirements.
The identification and valuation of all our assets should
promote a more efficient use of the assets and assist in
improving financial decision-making.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The primary role of Internal Audit in Dublin City Council
is to provide assurance to senior management and to
the Audit Efficiency Group that:
- The various risks facing the Council
have been identified
- Appropriate internal controls are in place
to manage those risks
Internal Audit is a key player in the Corporate
Governance process and makes a valuable contribution
to the effective management of Dublin City Council.
The concepts of accountability and transparency are
important principles in responsible governance. They
imply openness to scrutiny and a requirement to report
on performance. Internal Audit facilitates this process
by providing an independent review function to
management, to assure them that services are being
provided in an efficient, effective and economic manner
and in conformity with legal requirements.
In 2004, we provided a wide range of audit coverage.
Eleven systems were examined and reports issued. In
addition, several verification checks were made involving
depots, area offices and sports halls.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Accounting policies used in the preparation of these
accounts are set out in the statement of accounting
policies. The 2004 accounts are prepared on a full
accruals basis and see the introduction of a Balance
Sheet for the first time. The Balance Sheet replaces
the old statement of Capital Payments and Receipts.
PRIORITIES FOR 2005
The Revenue Budget for 2005 was adopted by the
City Council on 29th November 2004. It provides for
the maintaining and strengthening of all services at
the existing high level.
- Significant improvements are planned during 2005 in
the key service of cleaning the city streets, specifically
in the areas.
- A pay by volume system will be introduced in respect
of household waste services, providing an effective
incentive for householders to reduce and recycle
their waste.
- The Capital Programme for the three-year period 2005
to 2007 at a value of J3.1bn separately identifies
projected expenditure and income on capital projects
and initiatives analysed across programme groups.
- An additional J1m resources will be available
to improve parks facilities in the City.
The demand for services and therefore resources remains
as high in 2005 as previously. These resource demands
occur in an environment of additional service cost
pressures. Nonetheless, the City Council are mindful
of the need to operate on a cost base which reflects
value and cost minimisation.
I would like to thank the staff of all departments
for their co-operation and especially the staff of
the Finance Department for their work in producing
the Final Accounts. I also wish to thank the members of
the City Council in relation to their help and consideration
in drafting the budget and resolving the many other
financial issues, which arose during 2004.

A balance sheet incorporating all of the Fixedassets of the local authority is included for the first timein the Annual Financial Statement for 2004. The assetswere valued based on the 'Valuation Guideline' issued by the DEHLG. All assets owned by local authority priorto 31/12/2004 were valued as Historical Assets. Themovement during 2004 is not shown as part of theAnnual Financial Statement due to the fact that all assetswere incorporated into Balance Sheet at 31/12/2004. The summary of the valuation basis applied in respect of the individual asset categories is as follows:
Asset Category Basis of Valuation1/ Land Depending on anticipated
use value at:(a) Cost plus allowable rolled up charges or estimated allowable costs(b) Market value

6/ Road Network The balance sheet reflects the net depreciated cost of a modern equivalent asset
9.2 Classification of AssetsFixed assets are classified into categories as set out in the balance sheet.
9.3 DepreciationUnder the current method of accounting, the charge fordepreciation is offset by the amortisation of the source of funding the asset. This method has a neutral impacton Income & Expenditure and consequently the chargefor depreciation and the corresponding credit fromamortisation is excluded from the Income & ExpenditureStatement. The Council does not charge depreciation in the year of disposal and will charge a full year'sdepreciation in the year of acquisition.
10. Government GrantsGovernment grants are accounted for on an accrualbasis. Grants received to cover day to day operations are credited to the Income & Expenditure Statement.Grants received relating to the construction of assets are shown as part of the income of work-in-progress.

Roimh 2004, ní raibh luacháil na sócmhainní mar chuidden AFS. Don chéad uair tá cuntas cothromaíochta ann a bhfuil na Sócmhainní seasta go léir atá ag an Údarás Áitiúil san áireamh, sa Ráiteas Airgeadais Bliantúil do 2004.Rinneadh luacháil ar na sócmhainní bunaithe ar an'Treoirlíne Luachála' a d'eisigh an RCORA(DEHLG).Rinneadh luacháil ar gach sócmhainn a bhí ag an údarásáitiúil roimh an 31/12/04 mar shócmhainn stairiúil. Níléirítear an ghluaiseacht i rith 2004 mar chuid den RáiteasAirgeadais Bliantúil mar gur cuireadh na sócmhainní goléir isteach mar chuid den Chuntas Cothromaíochta ar an 31 Nollaig 2004.

6/ Gréasán na mBóithre Léiríonn an cuntas cothromaíochta an bun-chostas laghdaithe ar shócmhainn nua dá leithéid
9.2 Rangú na SócmhainníDéantar na sócmhainní seasta a rangú de réir catagóirí,mar atá leagtha amach sa chuntas cothromaíochta.
9.3 Titim ar an LuachFaoin modh cuntasaíochta atá ann faoi láthair, tá an táille don titim ar luach sócmhainne curtha ar ceal ag anmaitheamh a thagann ó fhoinse maoinithe na sócmhainne.Tá tionchar neodrach ag an modh seo ar an Ioncam agusar an gCaiteachas agus mar sin fágtar amach an táille dontitim ar an luach agus an sochar malartach a thagann ómhaitheamh an airgid, as an Ráiteas Ioncaim agusCaiteachais. Ní bhíonn táille gearrtha ag an gComhairlemaidir le titim ar luach, sa bhliain a fhaightear réidh leis ansócmhainn, ach gearrtar táille iomlán ar an titim ar luach,sa bhliain a fhaightear an tsócmhainn.
10. Deontais Rialtais Déantar cuntasaíocht ar dheontais rialtais nuair afhaightear iad. Tá na deontais a fhaightear chun imeachtaíó lá go lá a chlúdú, le sonrú sa Ráiteas Ioncaim agusCaiteachais.

Accruals (Matching)The concept that income and expenditure are recognised as they are earned or incurred, not as money is received or paid.
Capital ExpenditureExpenditure on the acquisition of a fixed asset or expenditure that adds to and not merely maintains the value of an existing fixed asset.
Community AssetsAssets that the local authority intends to hold in perpetuity, that have no determinable useful life, and that may have restrictions on their disposal. Examples of community assets are parks and historic buildings.
ContingencyA condition which exists at the balance sheet date, where the outcome will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
Corporate and Democratic ServicesThe corporate and democratic services comprises all activities,which local authorities engage in specifically because they areelected, multi-purpose authorities. The cost of these activities arethus over and above those which would be incurred by a series ofindependent, single purpose, nominated bodies managing the sameservices. There is therefore no logical basis for apportioning thesecosts to services.
Deferred ChargesExpenditure which may properly be deferred, but which does not result in, or remain matched with, tangible assets. Examples of deferred charges are expenditure on items such as preliminaryexpenses on proposed capital schemes.
DepreciationThe measure of the wearing out, consumption, or other reduction in the useful economic life of a fixed asset, whether arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technological or other changes.
Exceptional ItemsMaterial items which arise from events or transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the authority and which need to bedisclosed separately by virtue of their size or incidence to give fairpresentation of the accounts. Example - redundancies, uninsureddamage, uninsured structural failure of operational buildings, deficitsarising on the settlement of uninsured claims, cost of industrialaction and losses on investments.
Fair ValueThe fair value of an asset is the price at which it could be exchangedin an arm's length transaction less, where applicable, any grantsreceivable towards the purchase or use of the asset.
Finance LeaseA lease that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of a fixed asset to the lessee. Such a transfer of risksand rewards may be presumed to occur if at the inception of thelease the present value of the minimum lease payments, includingany initial payment, amounts to substantially all of the fair value ofthe leased asset.
Fixed AssetsTangible assets that yield benefits to the local authority and the services it provides for a period of more than one year.
Going ConcernThe concept that the authority will remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future, in particular that the revenue accounts and balance sheet assume no intention to curtail significantly thescale of operations.
Government GrantsAssistance by government and inter-government agencies and similar bodies, whether local, national or international, in the form of cash or transfers of assets to an authority in return forpast or future compliance with certain conditions relating to theactivities of the authority.
Infrastructure AssetsFixed assets that are inalienable, expenditure on which isrecoverable only by continued use of the asset created. Examples of infrastructure assets are highways and footpaths.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS GLUAIS TÉARMAÍOCHTA
Airgead ag teacht isteach/ag dul amachAn tuiscint go n-aithnítear ioncam agus caiteachas de réir mar a thuilltear nó mar a chaithtear iad, agus ní nuair a ghlactar leis, nó nuair a íoctar airgead.
Caiteachas CaipitilAn caiteachas a dhéantar chun sócmhainn sheasta a fháil nócaiteachas a chuireann leis an luach atá ag sócmhainn atá anncheana. Ní áirítear caiteachas chun cóiriú a dhéanamh arshócmhainn.
Sócmhainní PobailSócmhainní a bhfuil sé i gceist ag an údarás áitiúil iad a choinneáil go deo, nach bhfuil teorainn chinnte leis an úsáid atá acu agus a bhfuil bacanna ann maidir le fáil réidh leo. Samplaí de shócmhainní pobail iad na páirceanna poiblí agusfoirgnimh stairiúla.
Eachtraí gan ChoinneCás a tharlaíonn ar dháta an Chuntais Cothromaíochta, nuair nach mbeidh an toradh ar eolas go cinnte, go dtí go dtarlóidh/nó nach dtarlóidh eachtra(í) éiginnte éigin sa todhchaí.
Seirbhísí Corparáideacha agus DaonlathachaIs ionann na seirbhísí corparáideacha agus daonlathacha go léir agus na himeachtaí go léir a chuireann na húdaráis áitiúla ar siúl, mar gur údaráis thofa, ilfheidhmeacha iad. Tá costas na seirbhísí sin os cionn na gcostas a thitfeadh ar ghrúpaí tofa neamhspleácha,aonfheidhmeacha a bheadh ag bainistiú na seirbhísí céanna, mar sin.Níl aon bhunús loighciúil mar sin, le roinnt a dhéanamh ar na costaissiúd maidir leis na seirbhísí.
Táillí curtha ar CairdeCaiteachas is féidir a chur ar cairde i gceart, ach nach bhfuilsócmhainní mar thoradh leis. Samplaí den chaiteachas seo ná caiteachas ar earraí, ar nós réamhchostaisí ar scéimeanna caipitil atá pleanáilte.
Titim ar an LuachAn tomhas atá ar chaitheamh, ídiú, nó laghdú eile ar shaoleacnamaíoch, úsáideach na sócmhainne seasta, bíodh sé de bharr úsáide, imeacht ama, nó neamhéifeachtacht mar thoradh ar athruithe teicneolaíochta srl.
Rudaí EisceachtúlaRudaí ábhartha a thagann aníos ó imeachtaí nó aistriúcháin, atharlaíonn taobh istigh de ghnáthimeachtaí an údaráis agus a bhfuilgá le hiad a nochtadh leo féin, de bharr na méide atá orthu nó debharr na gcúinsí ina bhfuarthas iad. Déantar é seo ionas go mbeidhléiriú shoiléir ar na cuntais.Samplaí - cailliúint post, dochar gan árachas, teipeadh ar struchtúrfoirgneamh gan árachas, easnamh de bharr socrú maidir le héilimhgan árachas, costas na gníomhaíochta tionsclaíche agus cailliúintí ar infheistíochtaí.
Luach CóirIs é an luach cóir atá ar shócmhainn ná an praghas ag ar féidir é a aistriú go simplí, ach amháin nuair atá deontas éigin faighte chun í a cheannach/a úsáid.
Léas AirgeadaisLéas a aistríonn an priacal agus an leas go léir a bhaineann lehúinéireacht sócmhainne seasta, chuig an léasaí. Glactar leis gobhfuil a leithéid d'aistriúchán tarlaithe má íoctar bun-íocaíocht léasa ag an tús, a bhfuil cionn is an luach céanna leis is atá ag an tsócmhainn féin atá ar léas.
Sócmhainní SeastaSócmhainn inláimhsithe a chruthaíonn leas don phobal áitiúil agusdon tseirbhís a chuireann sí ar fáil, ar feadh níos mó ná bliain.
Suim LeanúnachAn tuiscint go leanfaidh an t-údarás ar aghaidh de bheith ag feidhmiúsa todhchaí, mar atá tuiscint againn uirthi. Chomh maith leis sin, antuiscint nach bhfuil sé i gceist ag an gcuntas ioncaim nó ag angcuntas cothromaíochta cur isteach go mór ar imeachtaí an údaráis.
Deontais RialtaisCabhair ón rialtas agus ó áisíneachtaí idir-rialtais agus ranna eile dá leithéid, bíodh siad náisiúnta nó idirnáisiúnta. Bíonn sé i bhfoirmairgid nó áistriú sócmhainní chuig an údarás, ar mhaithe le comhlíonadh coinníollacha áirithe maidir le himeachtaí an údaráis,san aimsir chaite nó amach anseo.

InvestmentsA long-term investment is an investment that is intended to be held for use on a continuing basis in the activities of the authority.Investments should be so classified only where an intention to holdthe investment for the long term can clearly be demonstrated orwhere there are restrictions as to the investor's ability to dispose ofthe investment. Investments which do not meet the above criteriashould be classified as current assets.
Investment PropertiesInterest in land and/or buildings:a/ in respect of which construction work and development have been completed; andb/ which is held for its investment potential, any rental income being negotiated at arm's length.
Long-Term ContractsA contract entered into for the design, manufacture or constructionof a single substantial asset or the provision of a service (or acombination of assets or services which together constitute a single project), where the time taken substantially to complete the contract is such that the contract activity falls into differentaccounting periods. Some contracts with a shorter duration than one year should be accounted for as long-term contracts if they are sufficiently material to the activity of the period.
Net Book ValueThe amount at which fixed assets are included in the balance sheet,i.e. their historical cost or current value less the cumulative amountsprovided for depreciation. Current value can be either “net currentreplacement cost” or “net realisable value”.
Net Current Replacement CostThe cost of replacing or recreating the particular asset in its existingcondition and in its existing use, i.e. the cost of its replacement or ofthe nearest equivalent asset, adjusted to reflect the current conditionof the existing asset.
Net Realisable ValueThe open market value of the asset in its existing use (or openmarket value in the case of non-operational assets), less theexpenses to be incurred in realising the asset.
Non-Operational AssetsFixed assets held by a local authority but not directly occupied, usedor consumed in the delivery services. Examples of non-operationalassets are investment properties and assets that are surplus torequirements, pending sale or redevelopment.
Operating LeasesA lease other than a finance lease.
Operational AssetsFixed assets held and occupied, used or consumed by the localauthority in the direct delivery of those services for which it haseither a statutory or discretionary responsibility.
Post Balance Sheet EventsThose events, both favourable and unfavourable, which occurbetween the balance sheet date and the date on which the AFS is signed by the responsible financial officer.
Prior Year AdjustmentsThose material adjustments applicable to prior years arising from changes in accounting policies or from the correction of fundamental errors.
PrudenceThe concept that revenue is not anticipated but is recognised only when realised in the form either of cash or of other assets the ultimate cash realisation of which can be assessed withreasonable certainty.
StocksComprise the following categories:a/ goods or other assets purchased for resale;b/ consumable stores;c/ raw materials and components purchased for
incorporation into products for sale.
Useful LifeThe period over which the local authority will derive benefits from the use of a fixed asset.
Sócmhainní BonneagairSócmhainní seasta atá do-aistrithe agus nach bhfaighfear costais arais uathu gan úsáid leanúnach na sócmhainne a cruthaíodh. Samplaíde seo ná bóithre poiblí agus cosáin.
Infheistíochtaí'Séard is infheistíocht fhad-téarmach ann ná infheistíocht a bhfuil sé i gceist í a choinneáil le haghaidh úsáide ar bhonn leanúnach inimeachtaí an údaráis. Ba cheart infheistíocht fad-téarmach a ghlaochuirthi sa chás amháin nuair is féidir a léiriú go soiléir go bhfuil sé igceist í a choinneáil go fad-téarmach, nó nuair atá teorainn le cumasan infheisteora fáil réidh leis an infheistíocht. Mura gcomhlíonanninfheistíocht áirithe na coinníollacha sin, is sócmhainn reatha í.
Sealúchas InfheistíochtaSuim maidir le talamh nó foirgnimh:a/ a bhfuil obair thógála nó forbairt chríochnaithe ann; agusb/ atá ann mar acmhainn infheistíochta, agus an táille cíosa socraithe ar bhonn oifigiúil.
Conarthaí Fad-TéarmachaConradh a socraíodh ar mhaithe le sócmhainn shubstainteachamháin nó seirbhís éigin a dhearadh, a chruthú nó a thógáil.Uaireanta bíonn meascán sócmhainní/seirbhísí i gceist atá maraon togra amháin. Tógtar an méad sin ama chun an togra áirithe seo a chríochnú go dtarlaíonn sé le linn tréimhsí cuntasaíochtadifriúla. Uaireanta áirítear conarthaí áirithe taobh istigh de bhliain amháin mar chonraí fad-téarmacha, nuair atá dlúthbhaint acu legníomhaíocht na tréimhse sin.
Luach Glan na LeabharAn méad ag a bhfuil sócmhainní seasta mar chuid den chuntascothromaíochta i.e. an Costas stairiúil atá acu nó a luach reatha agusan méad cuí bainte le haghaidh luach atá caillte. Is ionann an luachreatha agus an costas athnuachan, nó an luach glan measta.
Costas Glan Athnuachan ReathaAn costas a bheadh ann sócmhainn a athnuachan nó a chur ar ais mar a bhí sí ina gnáthúsáid. i.e. an costas a bheadh ar í aathnuachan nó an tsócmhainn is giorra di agus an chaoi reatha atá air faoi láthair, tugtha san áireamh.
Luach Glan MeastaLuach an mhargaidh oscailte a bheadh ar an tsócmhainn mar atá sí faoi láthair(nó luach an mhargaidh oscailte i gcás sócmhainnneamh-oibre) agus na costais bainte chun an luach a bhaint aisti.
Sócmhainní Neamh-oibreSócmhainní seasta atá ag an údarás áitiúil ach nach bhfuil in úsáidnó á gcaitheamh go díreach i gcur ar fáil na seirbhísí. Samplaí de seoná sealúchas infheistíochta agus sócmhainní sa bhreis nach bhfuilriachtanach agus iad le díol nó le forbairt.
Léas OibreAon léas seachas léas airgeadais
Sócmhainní FeidhmiúlaSócmhainní seasta, atá ag an údarás áitiúil agus atá in úsáid aige armhaithe le cur ar fáil na seirbhísí a bhfuil freagracht reachtúil nólánroghnach aige astu.
Eachtraí i nDiaidh an Chuntais CothromaíochtaEachtraí a tharlaíonn, bíodh siad maith nó olc, idir dáta an ChuntaisCothromaíochta agus an dáta ar a shíníonn an oifigeach airgeadaiscuí an AFS.
Athruithe na mBlianta roimhe sinBaineann na hathruithe ábhartha seo leis na blianta roimhe seo, debharr athruithe sa chleachtas cuntasaíochta nó de bharr cheartú nabhfadhbanna bunúsacha.
CríonnachtAn tuiscint nach féidir ioncam a thuar ach go n-aithnítear é achamháin nuair atá sé i bhfoirm airgid thirim nó i bhfoirm sócmhainne.Is féidir an luach airgid a mheas go cuíosach soiléir ansin.
StocTá na catagóirí seo a leanas i gceist:a/ earraí nó sócmhainní a ceannaíodh le bheith díolta arís.b/ stórais inchaite;c/ Amh-ábhair a ceannaíodh le bheith curtha le táirgí atá le díol.
Saol ÚsáideachAn tréimhse ina mbaineann an t-údarás áitiúil leas as úsáidsócmhainne seasta.
