Ireland INTERREG Harbour Report 2001 |
Ms. Karin Dubsky, Coastwatch
Ireland, named Dún Laoghaire Harbour as joint winner of the
Coastwatch Clean Seas Survey 2001, in a ceremony at the Grand
Canal Basin in July, 2001.
Dún Laoghaire Harbour, in the survey, was the outright winner
of the "Cleanliness" section; joint winner of both
the "General Management" and "Water Quality"
sections; and in the top half of the remaining sections "Waste
Management Facilities" and "Information for Users".
"Coastwatch Ireland" carried out the survey at
36 locations and harbours around the coast, stretching from
Drogheda to Tramore; the project being funded through the
EC INTERREG II programme for Ireland and Wales. |
"SPACEHOG" |
Dún Laoghaire Harbour has recently
installed a "Spacehog" system at three of the disabled
parking spaces adjacent to the Ferry Terminal. This is an electronic
system to warn motorists that they have parked in a disabled
parking space. When a car parks in one of the disabled spaces
a recorded message announces that the parking space is reserved
for vehicles displaying a disabled permit and that unauthorized
persons may be clamped.
"Spacehog" supplied by AGK Ltd., uses a sensor in
each parking space which is activated when a car parks in that
space. A radio signal then starts the recorded message. |
