As a strategy for one of the two natural prime assets of the County that this Council direct the Manager to incorporate into the 2010-2016 Development Plan the current policy of preserving and protecting the Liffey Valley in addition to incorporating the recommendations of the Office of Public Work’s plan for the Liffey Valley. As part of this strategy that this Council directs the Manager to adopt the lead role in encouraging and working with other local authorities in order to provide  clear joined up thinking, a coherent strategy and a vision for the preservation of  the Liffey Valley. We endanger this prime natural asset at our peril.
