NATIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Final Consultation on Ireland 2014 – The National Planning Framework for Ireland
On Tuesday, 26th September 2017, the Irish Government published “Ireland 2040 – Our Plan” for its final round of public consultations. Over the next number of weeks, until 3 November, the public will have a chance to review what is essentially the long-term strategic planning framework for Ireland’s future growth and prosperity. Ireland 2040 – Our Plan will guide national, regional and local planning opportunities throughout our Republic together with investment decisions for at least the next two decades.
Over the coming days, the National Investment Plan is due to be published and, it is hoped, that when read together, both documents will be inextricably linked and supportive of each other.

The ICLRD encourages wide engagement with this document – afterall, this will inform spatial planning policy and practice at national, regional and local level for the next two decades.
