Organizing Space in a Dynamic Economy: Insights for Policy from the Irish Experience

In this paper, we first outline Ireland's macro-economic performance, including its causes, and the organizational structures that have been put in place to make it happen. Next, we outline the spatial implications of this for the Greater Dublin region, and the Irish policy model that is in place to manage space. We then use a transport strategy for the nation and the region recently announced by the national government to exemplify the lack of convergence between decisions on investment in infrastructure, and local and regional government decisions concerning land-use planning. We conclude with some implications and conclusions. (A)
