Development- 62.1% of households live below the 50% relative income poverty level.
- There is a lot of site dereliction, particularly along the Cork Street/Coombe Relief route. This route has been in the pipeline for over forty years and has just been completed in 2003.
- Educational levels are low, many young people residing in local authority housing estates do not complete their second level education
Dublin City Council (DCC) has adopted The Liberties’ Local Area Plan (LAP), a holistic regeneration strategy for 136 hectares of South Central Dublin and the city’s largest LAP to date. The LAP was prepared for and with DCC by John Thompson & Partners, in collaboration with Metropolitan Workshop, and is designed to guide development and encourage investment in the Liberties over the next decade.
The Liberties-Coombe IAP was officially launched in 1998. The vision of the Plan is :
“To reinstate the dignity of the Liberties/Coombe as a living working locality fully participating in Dublin’s entry into the next millennium”.
Proposed redevelopment of the Liberties’ brownfield sites will accommodate a rise in population from 13,500 to around 20,000.
