Upcoming events
Ten Years On: Revisiting the NSS
One day conference
ESRI, Dublin.
Tuesday 5th June 2012, 10.00-17.00
The aim of this conference is to explore the background to the current National Spatial Strategy, evaluate socio-economic developments in the 10 years since the introduction of the Strategy and identify the implications of contemporary population, settlement and economic trends.
Current socio-economic developments are resulting in highly uneven spatial outcomes and give rise to a host of questions concerning the capacity of spatial planning to support the delivery of public services and enhance the potential for economic growth and the role of national, regional and local governance systems in delivering on the potential of the NSS.

Local Government Reform: Myth or Reality?
A Half Day Symposium
Renehan Hall, NUI Maynooth
Thursday, 8 March 2012, 10.00-14.00
The event is supported by The Regional Studies Association Irish Branch and the Local Government Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association of Ireland.
The Programme for Government sets out to reform local government and the local environment generally. The existing system of County and Town Authorities is likely to be streamlined. This will include the merging of a limited number of County Authorities, the amalgamation of senior management teams and a significant reduction in middle management numbers.
The alignment of local government and local development is also being advanced. This symposium will examine the possibility of reform and whether it is realistic to think that substantial reform can make a difference to the role local government could and should play in Ireland.
