- Culture | Chapter 12 401 and Culture and Recreation Section will work with the Planning Department to undertake a series of localised audits of Local Electoral Areas to identify the best local solution that will provide a plan for investment in local facilities- both public and private – that will address shortcomings in that area. One approach to provision of space that has had mixed success is the temporary use of vacant spaces such as retail units. These spaces are usually not designed for purpose and can often be only available as “meanwhile” spaces on short term arrangements. These conditions may suit certain uses, and the Council will continue to work with key stakeholders to take suitable opportunities when they arise (see policy CU16 and objective CUO28). However, these types of spaces can result in costs to fit out. The preference is for community and arts provision, as much as possible, to be designed in as part of larger developments rather than being retrofitted into unused retail premises. It is the Policy of Dublin City Council: CU24 Civic Arts and Cultural Spaces in Urban Villages To seek to deliver new civic arts and cultural spaces in urban villages across the city in areas where there is a deficit and to prioritise such areas for investment. CU25 Libraries Support the expansion and growth of libraries as key community and cultural assets within communities; including in providing key spaces for communities to use for cultural and arts events, music, classes, history and experiences and services for people experiencing unemployment including job seeking skills and online learning and training. It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO44 Cultural and Artistic Space Audit To aim to undertake during the life of the development plan, an audit and implementation plan for each Electoral Area of the Council to assess the current and future needs with regard to cultural and artistic spaces, (including music) and to set a series of actions, policy tools and initiatives to address identified shortfalls.
- Culture | Chapter 12 402 It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO45 Buildings within Communities for Arts and Cultural Spaces To seek to acquire buildings of merit within communities that can become important arts and cultural spaces; and give a new purpose to local buildings with heritage value and to promote the expansion of cultural uses within existing spaces, particularly within buildings in public ownership. CUO46 Inclusivity To support greater inclusivity as part of the cultural experience and to support adaptation to existing facilities to address existing shortcomings. To support initiatives and investments in arts and cultural spaces that aim to promote increased cultural engagement for minority groups, people with disabilities, young people, socially excluded, members of the Travelling community and LGBTQ+ community members. CUO47 Accessibility To encourage people of all abilities and ages including wheelchair users to take part fully in the city's culture as consumers, creators, artists and workers by supporting a high standard of accessibility in new and existing cultural assets. CUO48 Multilingualism Community Infrastructure To promote the development and provision of multilingualism community infrastructure across the city and to provide for the needs of groups promoting multilingualism within communities. 12.5.6 Supporting the Irish Language and Culture in the City As outlined in the government publication Infheistíocht inár gCultúr, inár dTeanga agus inár nOidhreacht Investing in our Culture, Language and Heritage, 2018 – 2027; a key objective of Project Ireland 2040 is to provide better social, economic and cultural infrastructure, including providing more opportunities to enjoy our cultural heritage and language. Dublin City Council supports the statement that our language is fundamental to our identity and our expression of ourselves as a distinct people; alongside recognising that our City is made of many peoples with many different backgrounds. Making space for cultural engagement allows all to experience, learn, express and share as part of a mutual cultural enrichment. Supporting the Irish language and the traditional arts within the city will create these opportunities, both through provision of physical space and sponsored programmes and also through supporting cultural events and through appropriate use of the public realm.
- Culture | Chapter 12 403 Many existing community spaces play an important role within the city fabric in supporting Irish culture and use of the Irish language, such as GAA clubs and community halls and facilities that provide space for local arts and cultural events, dance classes and hosting comhrá groups within local communities. The important role of these spaces is recognised by the Council in supporting and preserving Irish language and culture across the city. Irish Language Quarter Whilst not in any designated Gaeltacht area, Dublin has a highest absolute number of people living in the State who utilise Irish on a daily basis. Dublin is also home to a number of Irish language educational facilities both for mainstream education and those providing Irish language education to the wider public. The recent successes of initiatives such as “pop-up” Gaeltacht nights within the city have demonstrated the support for increasing the visibility of Irish within the city and providing space to all interested speaking Irish within a social setting. In seeking to develop this concept, Dublin City Council supports the initiative of Irish language organisations within the city to create and grow Irish language hubs within the heart of the city and where appropriate, in selected urban village locations. It is the Policy of Dublin City Council: CU26 Irish Language To continue supporting Gaeilge as part of our identity and as a living language within the city and to promote Irish language and culture through policy and actions. CU27 Traditional Arts To support the traditional arts within the city including music, dance and sports and to support key language and cultural investment projects in the city. DCC supports the UNESCO recognition sought for Irish cultural heritage elements, including hurling, harping and piping which have already achieved protection. It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO49 Dublin Gaeltacht To support the promotion of the Irish language and support initiatives to establish Irish language network areas/ “Dublin Gaeltacht” in Dublin; and the implementation of Dublin City Council’s initiative Baile Átha Cliath le Gaeilge to increase the opportunities and space for people to use and learn.
- Culture | Chapter 12 404 It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO50 Irish Medium Education To continue to engage with Department of Education and Skills to support the growth in Irish medium education and to work with Department in providing facilities to meet demand within the city. CUO51 Na Píobairí Uilleann To seek the delivery of the planned extension to na Píobairí Uilleann on Henrietta St. to provide a new cultural/performance space within the North Inner City for traditional music and dance. CUO52 Key Venues and Cultural Facilities To protect important key venues and cultural facilities (both public and private) within the city that give space for the expression of traditional music, song and dance. Where proposals for redevelopment of such spaces are made, the applicant will be required to address how these uses will be accommodated. CUO53 Irish Language on Shopfronts To support and identify funding for the use of the Irish language on shopfronts, having regard to the principles set out in Dublin City Council’s ‘Shop-font Design Guidelines’ and Chapter 15. CUO54 Naming of New developments To ensure that all new developments are named in the Irish language only, to redress the historic under-representation of Irish language names in the City; whilst also reflecting the rich diversity of history and origins of place names and townland names within Dublin and also names that are reflective the social history of each place. All place names installed for new streets or estates must be bi-lingual. It is the Policy of Dublin City Council: CU28 Promotion of Irish Language To promote the growth and use of Irish within Dublin City and the provision of opportunities and space for people in Dublin to learn.
- Culture | Chapter 12 405 It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO55 Dublin City Language and Cultural Hub To promote and support the development of a flagship Dublin City Language and Cultural Hub on Harcourt Street as outlined in the National Development Plan 2021-30 and Project Ireland 2040. CUO56 Irish Language Quarter To promote and support the development of an Irish language quarter and to seek a designation in the south City area focussed around the Harcourt St. area as an Irish Language Network. To explore the opportunities for supporting greater use of the Irish language within selected urban villages within the city. 12.5.7 Culture in the Public Domain Public spaces play a highly significant role in the public expression and cultural value of the city. They provide music venues, space for festivals, events and markets. Dublin City Council has continued to enliven public spaces through performance and the hosting of regular and one-off cultural events within the public realm. Examples in the past four years include continuing the successful Opera in the Open; New Year’s Festival, St. Patricks Festival, Dublin Pride, Bloomsday, to name but a few, as well as supporting walking tours of the city to the benefit of locals and tourist alike. The public realm is also animated through the year by a range of single art-form and multi-disciplinary arts festivals such as the Dublin Theatre Festival, Fringe Festival, the International Literature Festival Dublin, the Dublin Dance Festival and the Dublin International Film Festival. Public spaces have been regularly used to host markets of all scales - for example, the wellestablished Saturday market at Temple Bar, as well as a number of local markets in the suburbs such as Ballymun and Bushy Park. The Council has also worked to increase the number of new public spaces within the city and to ensure that they can provide new uses and venues in the future. These include public realm interventions through North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ and in larger regeneration projects. The importance of public spaces being adaptable and capable of hosting cultural events have never been more relevant. The Council supports the recommendations of the Report by the Culture Recovery Taskforce -Life Worth Living- which highlights this as a key part of supporting this sector. The Council will continue to seek funding and opportunities to increase and improve the range of public realm spaces capable of hosting events and other cultural activities and support arts and cultural organisations in utilising these spaces. A key part of cultural expression in the public domain is the use of public art and sculpture installations, whether permanent or temporary. Public art encompasses a wide range of
- Culture | Chapter 12 406 artistic expression including the commissioning of permanent work as well as temporary work such as performance artforms (music, drama, and dance) and other artforms such as film, literature, etc. Permanent work does not have to be sculptural and there are excellent examples of interventions both by the City Council and private developers which exemplify different approaches to public art commissioning. Dublin City has a successful record of adding new public art and sculpture that enhances the historic fabric of the city. The Council will seek to extend and grow the role of the public domain as a cultural space, including new commissions and requiring new spaces and installations as part of large scale development. Alongside this, there is a need to value existing works, through initiatives such as creating a sculpture trail for the city. The Council will also endeavour to participate in the Percent for Arts programme at all opportunities where it is applicable. It is the Policy of Dublin City Council: CU29 Public Realm for Cultural Events To encourage greater use of the public realm for cultural events to make the inner city and urban villages more attractive to those with young families for both day and night time events, and to seek provision of new public spaces for outdoor performance that are designed and fitted to host a range of events. CU30 Life Worth Living Taskforce To seek to adapt and expand the range of public spaces in the city that can host cultural and events activities to allow for increased and more inclusive public engagement with culture and the arts. It is an Objective of Dublin City Council: CUO57 Percent for Arts Scheme To seek that all significant scale public projects within the city should make use of the Percent for Arts Scheme, particularly those which will provide new public realm and to require new public buildings of significance to include art work as part of their development. CUO58 Public Art All large scale regeneration schemes, whether lodged for planning as a single or multiple applications; where the total scale of regeneration exceeds 25,000 sq. m. shall be required to include an element of public art.

- Strategic Development Regeneration Areas | Chapter 13 408 Chapter 13: Strategic Development Regeneration Areas
- Strategic Development Regeneration Areas | Chapter 13 409 13.1 Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to set out the overarching framework and guiding principles for the designated Strategic Development Regeneration Areas (SDRAs). As outlined in the core strategy, a key element in the delivery of compact growth will be the sustainable development of the SDRAs. 19 SDRAs have been identified and are set out in the table below and are also identified on Map K. It is considered that these areas are capable of delivering significant quantities of homes and employment for the city. The active land management measures and approach referred to under the core strategy will be pursued in the development and delivery of the SDRAs. Table 13.1 sets out the 19 SDRA’s, their estimated capacity and key supporting infrastructure. Table 13.1: Capacity of SDRA Designated Lands for Residential Use or a Mixture of Residential and Other Uses and Supporting Infrastructure SDRA Ref. City Area Name Estimated Capacity Area (Ha) Supporting Infrastructure SDRA 1 Clongriffin/Belmayne and Environs 6,950 – 7,350 52 DART+, BusConnects, completion of Main Street, social infrastructure SDRA 2 Ballymun 2,200 – 2,350 35 Metrolink, Bus Connects SDRA 3 Finglas Village Environs and Jamestown Lands 4,400 52 Luas Finglas, BusConnects, social infrastructure SDRA 4 Park West/Cherry Orchard 2,500 – 3,100 49 DART+, BusConnects, social infrastructure.

SDRA 19 Kylemore 4,000 – 5,300 52 Dart+, BusConnects, social infrastructure. Total 56,700 – 59,150 490.5 For each SDRA, a series of guiding principles are set out and indicated on an accompanying plan. It should be noted that in some instances, SDRAs are also governed by an adopted Local Area Plan or SDZ Planning Scheme. The guiding principles for these SDRAs should be read in conjunction with the zoning objectives and principles and other objectives and policies of the plan. The guiding principles plans are not intended to be prescriptive, but seek to set out an overall strategy for each site in terms of the appropriate form and scale of development, key routes and permeability, open space etc. Some flexibility in the interpretation of the guiding principles maps will be applied where the applicant can demonstrate that the overall intent of the guiding principles has been incorporated and considered and that an appropriate development response for the site has been developed. Structures for community/stakeholder consultation within the SDRAs will follow the procedures set out in Chapter 16 – Monitoring and Implementation of the plan.
