Meetings
This section contains details of meetings and conferences in regard to the New City and related topics. Members
of the public are welcome to attend some
of them. Your views, opinions, aspirations and
ideas are very important and will help us develop
a City, which will be desirable to live in. At
these meetings the following themes are discussed:
|
- The need for a New City and
accompanying rejuvenation of the West of
Ireland.
- The plan to establish state-of-the-art
infrastructure for high-speed
communications and transport in this
region. The establishment of a
"Silicon Valley" on the
outskirts of this city which will attract
High Technology companies from around the
world. This would benefit the surrounding
counties - Mayo, Roscommon, north Galway,
Sligo, Leitrim, Longford and
Westmeath.
- How this development will stop the
population drain from the West. And
alleviate the chronic congestion in
Dublin.
- Outline of plan for the New City.
- How it will preserve and enhance Irish
culture and traditions in this region.
- Plan for affordable housing for our
young people and families.
- People will be
free to raise questions, query any aspect
of the New City and give their own
opinions, ideas, suggestions and
any contributions.
