À propos de cet audio

The sources centre around the town of Drogheda in Ireland, and discuss the need for its reclassification as a city. A report commissioned by the Minister for Justice highlights the socio-economic challenges in Drogheda, particularly those related to drug-related crime and gang violence. Drogheda, despite being Ireland’s largest town by population, is noted as being underserved and negatively impacted by its division across county lines. Several sources advocate for improved infrastructure and services in Drogheda, particularly for young people, to combat these issues. The sources also suggest a need for Drogheda to be acknowledged as a city due to its population size and density, which surpasses even some of Ireland's existing cities .Copyright Podcraftr Sciences sociales

  • Drogheda - Ireland's Next City?
    Sep 26 2024
    In this episode of Drogheda City Status, Drogheda discusses the promising potential of Drogheda, Ireland's largest town, in easing Dublin's escalating living costs and increasingly pressurized infrastructure. The podcast spotlighted Drogheda's strategic location on the Dublin-Belfast economic corridor and its burgeoning population with plans to construct 7,000 additional homes which could alleviate Dublin's housing pressure. Drogheda's potential as an economic hub with a robust workforce, possible expansion of education opportunities and improvement in infrastructure were also addressed. However, administrative challenges due to Drogheda straddling two counties and the need for increased investment were put forth as hurdles. The episode concluded with a call to support Drogheda's bid for city status to unlock its potential and bring about an economically balanced Ireland.
