Interesting Maps - D15 (and all other areas)

ozmo

Posting these here as it was sending "Buying a house in D15, location or space?" thread off topic.
covers all Ireland - not just D15.... thought some here might find it interesting.


3 maps I know of more, can post later
Big hint: If you hold down shift you can draw a "Zoom-To" box with the mouse to get somewhere fast.

Note: Its flash based - so wont work with ipads or iphones.

Data Source: Its basically the data from Irish 2006 Census - so very current.



The Maps

1. All-Island Deprivation Index
Measure deprivation - A combination of relative affluence and deprivation: demographic profile, social class composition and labor market.

2. Housing Monitoring Tool
Mapping & querying tool for the housing market - looks at difficulties in the housing sector.

3. All-Island Accessibility Mapping Tool
Proxmity to services (Schools etc) & drive times - This map shows the levels of ‘drive-time’ accessibility to key settlements and services on the Island of Ireland. The maps highlight areas with low level of access to services.
Remember to click on the TOC to calculate drive times to Primary schools etc..

If you've been to any D15 Planning Meetings you will have seen similar to this one before printed and handed out - but you can check out what is planned for any site yourself ...
** Use the identify tool to see what's planned for a particular site.
** There are lots of other very useful data hidden in the "Layers" icon at the top - Historical Sites - Protected areas - Roads, Schools etc.

Use the Slider on the right to merge in modern maps over the old maps - so you can see what your house was built on etc...

Here's another cool map viewer


This one shows all the historic monuments in Ireland - there are Loads of hidden ones around D15.


Check out what that large mound in Millenium Park in Blanchardstown that the kids play on is...

Really interesting.. (hint:

Human Bones!

)

To use this viewer - zoom in to an area - and use the Blue (I) (Identify) icon in the top toolbar (beside the hand) and click on a red dot - popups will display a summary of the information and there is a button to get the full details of the monument.

Maybe it's this one. It overlays the older maps over the modern ones.
