 The National Spatial Strategy
The performance of the Greater Dublin Area is pivotal to the overall economic well-being of Ireland.
There is strong evidence that Dublin is becoming a ‘Dispersed City’ demonstrated by the fact that the hi-tech industries located around the city’s edges are drawing their workforces from places up to and beyond 80 kilometres away, but within about an hour’s drive of peoples’ workplaces.
There is a need for these areas to emulate the competitiveness that the Dublin area has achieved in other parts of the country in order to deliver a better spatial distribution of national economic and social development.

 The Dublin Chamber of Commerce - Print Friendly Version
The existing management structures for Dublin are not working well and should be replaced by a new Authority covering the Greater Dublin Area, led by a directly elected Mayor, according to David Pierce, incoming President of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
Their remit should continue to be local, with their activities and services directed towards local issues such as parks, waste collection, social housing services, area based planning etc. This is the same model as London, where the Greater London Authority spans 32 local authorities across London, but where there functions do not overlap.
The Chamber proposes that Greater Dublin Area Authority should be headed by a directly elected Mayor, whose term of office should be for a four year period.

Following the introduction of the Strategic Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area, all the local authorities involved were instructed to bring their current plans into line with the guidelines as a matter of urgency.
Because all of County Meath is in the Hinterland Area where according to the guidelines, apart from Navan which is the specified growth centre, development is to be confined strictly to meeting local needs, it could be argued that for planning purposes the appropriate forecasts should be based solely on organic growth.
The boundary of the Metropolitan Area is clearly shown on the map on page 116 of the Strategic Planning Guidelines and can be seen to be situated just within the Hinterland Area and in a location which the SPG specifically identify as requiring special protection to prevent overspill from the neighbouring Metropolitan Area.
