Waterford City and County Development Plan commended by Office of the Planning Regulator
Following the adoption of the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022-2028 by elected members of Waterford City and County Council, the Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) has commended the local authority on ‘a coherent and appropriate strategy for the delivery of key national planning objectives including the promotion of compact growth and town and village centre regeneration.’
The Plan, prepared by WCCC Planning Authority, is a statutory planning document, made in accordance with Section 9(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), and covers the six-year period from 2022 – 2028.
Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council said, “With our ultimate aims of enhancing growth of the wider city region and driving regional prosperity to make Waterford the best place to live, work and invest, this Development Plan provides us with a clear roadmap to enable us to attain those objectives.”
“Throughout the process there was extensive public consultation and collaboration. In fact, with a total of 1,155 written submissions, it was the highest level of engagement received for any draft development plan. It is evident that the people of Waterford care deeply about how our city and county develop, and Waterford City and County Council is committed to a proactive and dynamic approach towards sustainable social, environmental and economic development of the region.”
Correspondence from the OPR stated, “The preparation of the City Neighbourhood Strategy, Appendix 21 ‘Waterford City and County Regeneration and Opportunity Sites’, and inclusion of brownfield targets for the county’s settlements within the core strategy table are all welcomed and demonstrates the planning authority’s objective to support compact growth and the provisions of NSO 1 of the National Planning Framework.”
It added, “Furthermore the delivery of a robust renewable energy strategy, which provides for measurable renewable energy targets, demonstrates the planning authority’s clear commitment to supporting national renewable energy targets under the Climate Action Plan 2021.”
Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John O’Leary said the OPR correspondence was a great endorsement of the Development Plan. “Overall, it was very positively received. It’s testament to the huge amount of planning, research, and public input over the last two years. This has resulted in a solid policy and spatial framework that will shape Waterford city and county, for the better, for the future.”
There are some elements of the Development Plan that will be redressed. The OPR cited reservations about the further development of the Duckspool area of Dungarvan, however, fully supports the plan to ‘prioritise regeneration on sites that are amenable to walking and cycling to the town centre, such as Shandon and Kilrush, and whereby the most central development sites in the town are prioritised for new development first.’
The Development Plan will come into effect on July 19th 2022, six weeks after the date on which it was adopted, this period facilitating the final preparation and assembly of Development Plan documents for general use in the day-to-day operation of the Planning Authority and broader strategic investment decision making. The Development Plan also provides the basis on which Local Area Plans will be prepared for parts of Waterford City, the Key Town of Dungarvan, Tramore and other urban towns across the county over the lifetime of the Plan.
An interim version of the Development Plan including Volume 1: Written Statement, Volume 2: Development Management Standards and associated land use zoning and specific development objective mapping is available on the council website www.waterfordcouncil.ie until July 19th, after which the complete suite of Development Plan documents including all environmental reports and appendices will be is available for inspection at the following locations:
- Online at www.waterfordcouncil.ie
- Customer Care Desk, Waterford City & County Council, Baileys New Street
- Customer Care Desk, Waterford City & County Council, Civic Offices, Dungarvan
- Waterford City and County Council branch libraries.
Copies of volume 1 and 2 along with a book of land use zoning maps will be available for purchase from Planning@waterfordcouncil.ie and the Customer Care desks in Waterford City and Dungarvan following the coming into effect of the Development Plan.
Given the large quantity of spatial data which informs the Development Plan, it is not possible to make this fully available in printed format and as such it is recommended that this is accessed via the Development Plan Story Maps that will be available on the council website.
Almost 1 in 4 drivers check mobile phone notifications while driving
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána are once again appealing to drivers to not use their mobile phones while driving. The calls come following the publication of new research which shows almost a quarter of drivers (23%) admit to checking mobile phone notifications while driving.
The Driver Attitudes & Behaviour Survey 2021 found that 37% of motorists surveyed were not practicing safe mobile phone behaviour when driving, which includes turning off your mobile phone, switching it on silent, or keeping it out of sight.
International research has revealed that drivers are four times more likely to be involved in a collision if they use their mobile phone while driving. Despite this, the RSA survey also found that 19% of respondents use their phone to read messages/emails, while 13% write messages/emails from behind the wheel. In addition, 12% of motorists admitted to using their phones to check social media.
Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Ms. Hildegarde Naughton said: “The evidence around the dangers of using your mobile phone while driving is very clear, with drivers four times more likely to have a collision when on their mobile. The new government Road Safety Strategy 2021 to 2030 has identified the need for a review of the penalties for road traffic offences, including mobile phone use while driving. Nobody can claim that they are not aware of the dangers of using a phone while driving. Therefore, if we are to achieve a 50% reduction in deaths and serious injuries by 2030, plus achieve Vision Zero by 2050, we need to seriously look at such measures to eliminate this dangerous behaviour”.
Mr Sam Waide, Chief Executive, Road Safety Authority said: “Driver distraction is thought to play a role in up to 30% of all road collisions. Using your mobile is a significant form of driver distraction as it dangerously impairs your ability to monitor the road ahead and react to any hazards in time. That call, text, or social media post can wait until you are parked up safely, whatever you do don’t take a chance and use your phone while driving. If you know someone is driving, avoid phoning them until they have reached their destination or are safely parked up. Following the publication of the latest statistics, we are asking all motorists to follow safe behaviour when it comes to their mobile phone while driving and either turn it off, switch it to airplane mode, put it on silent or simply put it out of sight”.
Assistant Commissioner, Paula Hilman, Roads Policing and Community Engagement, An Garda Síochána said: “The penalty for using a mobile phone, which includes supporting it with any part of your body, while driving is an automatic three points on your licence and a sixty euro fine. If you accumulate 12 penalty points (7 for novice and learner drivers) in a three-year period, you will be disqualified from driving for 6 months. In 2021 a total of 22,310 notices were issued for ‘Driving a vehicle while holding a mobile phone’. When driving our attention should be focused on one thing only – driving safely and not on a mobile phone. As road-users, we have a responsibility to ourselves, our passengers, and other road-users to keep our attention on the road, so I would encourage all road-users to switch off before you drive off.”
To date in 2022, a total of 86 people have died on Irish roads, 27 more than the same period in 2021.
The government Road Safety Strategy 2021 to 2030 primary target is to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries by 50% by 2030. It is also the first step towards realising Vision Zero, whereby all deaths and serious injuries are eliminated by 2050.

Waterford City Bikeshare scheme launched
Newly elected Mayor of Waterford City and County, Councillor John O’Leary officially launched the new Transport for Ireland (TFI) Bike Share Scheme at Arundel Square in the City.
TFI Bikes is a self-service bike rental service, with stations conveniently located throughout Waterford City, making it easy to get around, whether it’s for commuting to work, meeting friends, or doing some sight-seeing.
There are 14 Bike stations and 220 bikes located in key areas around the city, including at SETU, University Hospital Waterford, Bank Lane, Kilcohan and Arundel Square. These bikes will allow commuters to switch to more active ways to get to and around the City Centre.
With docking stations at several SETU Campus locations, students will have plenty of opportunities to use them to travel to and from the city centre. For tourists, users can also cycle to the different events and attractions around Waterford City throughout the year.
Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John O’Leary officially launched the Bikeshare Scheme saying, “Waterford City is renowned for being a compact, accessible City, with excellent public realm spaces. This scheme will give users even more options for getting around the city and seeing it from a new perspective.”
“There are plenty of accessible bike stations peppered throughout the city centre, so for those wanting to take a break from the car commute, incorporate a healthier regime into their day or reduce their carbon footprint, Bikeshare really is the ideal way to attain those goals.”
CEO of the National Transport Authority Anne Graham said, “Investment in cycling and active travel is hugely important for the NTA and I am delighted that we can be part of the launch of the Waterford TFI Bike Share Scheme today. With 14 bike stations located in key areas around the city, residents and tourists will now find it even easier to get around.”
Fergus Galvin, Director of Services, Waterford City and County Council welcomed the long awaited TFI bikeshare scheme into Waterford City. “It comes at a really opportune time when the Council, with very substantial financial support from the National Transport Authority, has embarked on a multi-annual capital investment programme which will see a significant expansion of Waterford’s cycling network with some 50kms of new high quality cycle infrastructure to be delivered in the City alone over the next four to five years.”
The TFI bike share scheme forms an integral component of Waterford City and County Council’s overall vision to reduce transport related carbon emissions as part of its ambition to make Waterford Carbon Neutral and will provide a very accessible, low-cost, zero-emissions transport option for the residents of Waterford and visitors to travel to and around the city centre.
“In many respects, Waterford has been to the forefront and an early leader in the active travel agenda in recent years with the pedestrianisation of our city centre some years ago and the acclaimed Waterford Greenway. We view the TFI bike share scheme as further enhancing our commitment to the provision of quality active travel choices for Waterford,” Fergus added.
If you’re a keen explorer, why not use the new TFI Bikes to explore Ireland’s Oldest City, including the mile-long quayside, the compact City Centre, or even just to make your commute a healthier one.

Dungarvan Skatepark officially opened by Mayor of Waterford City and County
Having been constructed in just under nine weeks Dungarvan Skatepark has been officially opened by Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John O’Leary. Located in Fairlane, the skatepark is suited to skateboarders, rollerbladers, BMXers and scooter riders of all ages, skills and styles.
Over the past 15 years many groups and individuals have been calling for the provision of a skatepark in Dungarvan. Building on this work Dungarvan Skatepark c.l.g. was established to bring this wonderful amenity to fruition. The directors of Dungarvan Skatepark c.l.g. are Donal Connolly, Mary Leahy, Cordelia Burke and John Donovan. Mary, Cordelia and John, all officers of Dungarvan No Name Club and previously involved in the building of The Fusion Centre in Dungarvan. Donal brings vast experience from his time as Waterford County Manager and within the Lions Club.
The 600m2 facility developed by Dungarvan Skatepark Company is constructed in concrete and combines elements of bowl and street plaza features. It has been designed with the specific needs of skateboarders in mind with input from Waterford Comhairle na nÓg and local skateboarders.
The input from the skateboarders was very much taken on board and today the skaters can effortlessly complete their ollies, frontside 180s, laser flips and kick flips in the bowl section, while at the street plaza area, skaters and riders can negotiate street obstacles such as stairs, railings and benches.
Speaking at the official opening, Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr John O’Leary said, “I am truly delighted to see so many skateboarders and BMXers availing of the new skatepark. The park has been accessible for a few weeks and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.”
“To see crowds of young people, sharing this space, learning new skills or polishing their old skills, encouraging each other and developing new friendships is heartening.”
“Now that skateboarding is officially an Olympic Sport, we could be looking at a future gold medallist hailing from Dungarvan or the surrounding areas. Olympic dreams, like most dreams, start with a spark of encouragement or motivation and I believe this park is where Olympic dreams can become a reality.”
Donal Connolly, Dungarvan Skatepark Company said, “The whole premise of the skatepark was to give young people a safe space to skateboard, the opportunity to meet their friends outdoors, have fun and try their hand at skateboarding, regardless of their level of skills.”
“It’s evident today that that has been achieved and we’re delighted that skateboaring has become hugely popular with young people who have never tried their hand at it before simply because this facility is outstanding, welcoming and accessible.”
Kieran Kehoe, Director of Services with Waterford City and County Council added, “What makes this park particularly special is that it is the opinions, suggestions and advice from those who would use skatepark, have shaped the park.”
“Through consultation and engagement with stakeholders Dungarvan Skatepark Company has developed an amenity that has massive appeal to children, their families and young adults and is the envy of many towns and cities.”
The project cost almost €200,000 with grant aid of €150,000 from Waterford Leader Partnership, and Dungarvan Lions Club providing €10,000 project funding. The balance of €40,000 was provided by Waterford City & County Council which also leased the land at Fairlane to the Skatepark Company. The contractor was Browne Brothers Site Services, in conjunction with Vulcano Skateparks from Spain for the design and construction of the skatepark.
DEATH OF CLLR. JAMES TOBIN, FORMER MAYOR OF WATERFORD CITY & COUNTY
Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr John O’ Leary:
It is with great sadness and shock that I learned today of the passing of my good friend, party colleague, and former mayor of Waterford City & County, Councillor James Tobin.
I have the honour of saying I knew James for over 30 years and in that time, I was privileged to work closely with him and consider myself a friend of his.
I first met James when he was Chairman of the Waterford GAA County Board in 1984. As a proud member of Knockanore Shamrocks club, chairing the county board during the GAAs centenary year was something he was immensely proud of.
James immersed himself in his community and undertook numerous roles in order to make a difference. He was a member of Knockanore, Glendine, Kilwatermoy Community Council, Member of South East Regional Authority and Vice Chairman of Déise Link Rural transport Committee, a role he particularly relished as he was committed to ensuring that people in remote rural villages and towns had access to transport to ensure they didn’t feel isolated. He was also Chairman of Board of Management of St. Carthages House Lismore.
James’ commitment and dedication were far-reaching in local politics. He was a councillor since 1999 and in 2014/15 he became the first Mayor of the newly amalgamated Waterford City and County Council. At the time, James stated that he thought this might be a difficult role, trying to bring two separate entities together so they would work in harmony. However, it was something that he managed to do, almost seamlessly and in doing so, set a very high bar for future Plenary Mayors.
In 2020/21 James served as Cathaoirleach of Dungarvan/Lismore district Council.
It was less than a week ago that James was elected Deputy Mayor of Waterford City and County, and I was very much looking forward to sharing my mayoralty with a man whose selflessness and dedication to his constituents were his trademark.
James lost the love of his life, Anne, less than two years ago. She was a woman he described as ‘his rock’ and he often recalled how she was so giving of her time to everyone she met. Like James, the rural community held a special place in Anne’s heart.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to James’ children Mairéad, Micheál, Seán, Áine, Séamus and Pádraig, their partners and grandchildren, and the community of Ballyhamlet, Tallow.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council:
Waterford City and County Council has lost a dedicated public servant and a man whose commitment to his community was consummate.
James served as a councillor for over twenty years and in that time, his love of his family, his party and his community was evident.
Even throughout the difficult time when he lost his beloved wife, Anne, James served with great dignity and strength.
I would like to extend my condolences to his children, grandchildren, and extended family, to the community of Ballyhamlet and Knockanore, his party colleagues and fellow councillors.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Irish Water calls on Waterford contractors to consider applying for new accreditation scheme as part of drive to support efficient delivery of housing
Irish Water has launched a new Experience Based Accreditation Scheme that will be available for Experienced Contractors in Waterford. The scheme will accredit Experienced Contractors to deliver new water services infrastructure in public roads for housing developers.

This is the latest initiative as part of Irish Water’s commitment to support the delivery of housing across Ireland. The scheme supports the efficient delivery of essential water services infrastructure in the public road by Experienced Contractors while ensuring best practice procedures and standards.
It follows the successful rollout of Irish Water’s self lay in the public road programme, whereby developers can deliver water and wastewater infrastructure in the public roads to service new housing developments. The new scheme, which has been launched 18 months ahead of schedule, recognises contractors’ adherence to Irish Water’s Standard Details, Codes of Practice and Quality Assurance procedures. These best practice procedures and standards have been developed by Irish Water to prevent a reoccurrence of legacy issues that exist across the country.
Welcoming the self-lay programme and the new accreditation scheme, Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, said: “This latest initiative from Irish Water is another fantastic step forward in ensuring housing developments are completed efficiently across the country. I’m delighted to see such support for my Department’s Housing For All strategy, and to see Experienced Contractors across Ireland support the efficient delivery of homes. Irish Water listened to industry calls and responded quickly. Through the Housing For All strategy, my Department aims to see an average of 33,000 homes provided each year to 2030, and to know these homes will be completed as efficiently as possible is a fantastic assurance.”
The scheme, which is also supported by the Construction Industry Federation (CIF), the Irish Homebuilders Association and Commission for Regulation of Utilities, is the latest in a number of initiatives Irish Water has implemented to support Government’s Housing For All strategy.
Other initiatives include the publication of water and wastewater capacity registers which give an indication of the capacity of water and wastewater treatment plants all around the country, making it easier for developers and local authorities to prioritise areas with services.
As part of its commitment to open communication, Irish Water has also hosted several webinars for industry players to explain the application process and to highlight issues that may cause delays in the process.
The utility continues to support the housing industry through its dedicated connections and developer services team which offers a range of resources and support material, including extending a helping hand through the entire process from housing development pre-planning stage right through to construction.
These initiatives have resulted in strong progress being made in the delivery of housing, with over 32,000 housing connections offered by Irish Water in 2021.
Yvonne Harris, Irish Water’s Housing Programme Director, said: “We are committed to supporting Government’s drive in developing more homes across the country and ensuring these homes can be completed efficiently. We’ve launched our new Experienced Based Accreditation Scheme following calls from industry where, following a series of webinars with industry members, many highlighted the need for self-lay of water services infrastructure in public roads for new housing developments. Irish Water listened and is now ensuring that Experienced Contractors across every county in Ireland can become accredited to deliver new water services infrastructure in public roads for new housing developments.
“We have ensured our Experience Based Accreditation Scheme is easy and hassle-free to register for, and we’ve already seen strong interest from applicants. It ensures safe and reliable water services will continue to be provided to new home buyers and existing residents, now and into the future.”
James Benson, Director of Housing, Planning & Development with CIF, added: “CIF welcomes this excellent initiative by Irish Water which will facilitate us to deliver housing in a timely and efficient manner. Our members are committed to meeting the highest standards in the construction of housing and associated infrastructure. This Experience Based Accreditation Scheme recognises this and supports the ongoing development of expertise in the water industry by developers and contractors through accreditation.”
Shane Carty of Carty Contractors, a contractor who participated in the pilot self lay programme, said: “We welcome the proposal by Irish Water to establish an accreditation scheme that will recognise the positive engagement by Contractors with Irish Water’s requirements since 2014.”
