A Carbon Tax for Ireland
(2008)
Richard S. J.; et al
Abstract:
The Programme for Government 2007-2012 states that '[a]ppropriate fiscal instruments, including a carbon levy, will be phased in on a revenue-neutral basis over the lifetime of this Government.' The terms of reference of the Commission on Taxation repeats the commitment to introduce measures to further lower carbon emissions and to phase in on a revenue neutral basis appropriate fiscal measures including a carbon levy over the lifetime of the Government and invites the Commission to [i]nvestigate fiscal measures to protect and enhance the environment including the introduction of a carbon tax. This paper presents thoughts and considerations about such a carbon tax. It discusses selected design issues, and presents a preliminary impact assessment for what the authors think is a reasonable design. More specifically, It addresses ten questions: 1. Why impose a carbon tax? 2. What level should the tax be? 3. Who should be taxed? 4. What is the expected revenue? 5. What t...

Alien aquatics in Europe : assessing the relative environmental and socioeconomic impacts of invasive aquatic macroinvertebrates and other taxa
(2015)
Laverty, Ciaran; Nentwig, Wolfgang; Dick, Jamie T.A.; Lucy, Frances E.
Abstract:
Invasive alien aquatic species, including marine and freshwater macroinvertebrates, have become increasingly important in terms of both environmental and socio-economic impacts. In order to assess their environmental and economic costs, we applied the Generic Impact Scoring System (GISS) and performed a comparison with other taxa of invaders in Europe. Impacts were scored into six environmental and six socioeconomic categories, with each category containing five impact levels. Among 49 aquatic macroinvertebrates, the most impacting species were the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Milne-Edwards, 1853) and the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771). The highest impacts found per GISS impact category were, separately; on ecosystems, through predation, as competitors, and on animal production. Eleven species have an impact score > 10 (high impact) and seven reach impact level 5 in at least one impact category (EU blacklist candidates), the maximum score that can b...

From invisibility to impact: recognising the scientific and societal relevance of interdisciplinary sustainability research

From invisibility to impact: recognising the scientific and societal relevance of interdisciplinary sustainability research
(2018)
Rau, Henrike; Goggins, Gary; Fahy, Frances
Abstract:
Academics are increasingly expected to produce concrete and directly applicable solutions to hard-to-solve 'real world problems' such as poverty, development, and environmental degradation. However, conventional assessments of the impact of science on society have not yet been adequately adapted to capture the diverse effects of this type of problem-centred research. Drawing on a case study of a large-scale project on (un)sustainable consumption, this paper demonstrates the range, complexity and potential long-term nature of impact in interdisciplinary sustainability research. It thus supports arguments for alternative approaches to impact assessment that question conventional views of translating scientific knowledge into action, value the multi-directionality of science-society relations and recognise diverse forms of engagement between scientists and non-scientific actors through non-academic channels and outputs. The paper also challenges common (mis)conceptions of wor...

Healthcare information technology (HIT) in Saudi Arabia health care systems: an overview
(2015)
Alijohani, Ahmad; Davis, Paul; Connolly, Regina
Abstract:
In the last decade, healthcare in Saudi Arabia has been significantly improving. This has been accompanied by advancements within the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), more specifically Health Information Technology (HIT), whose applications in health have been a necessity for hospitals to achieve objectives such as enhancing of healthcare and reducing the time and the cost of healthcare delivery. This paper focuses on a number of research questions. These are: • What is the current status of healthcare in Saudi organizations? • What is the current status of ICT and HIT in Saudi healthcare organizations? • What are the critical factors influencing the adoption process of HIT in Saudi healthcare organizations? • What are the factors that influence organizational (technology) of HIT?

Learning lessons from local social/poverty impact assessment
(2017)
McInerney, Chris
Abstract:
This article examines the role of social/poverty impact assessment in con -tributing to the shaping of policy at a local level in Ireland. In doing so, it briefly describes the broader impact assessment landscape internationally, presenting key definitions and identifying underlying principles. From this the article highlights the key elements of social impact assessment, proposing a three-phase process to guide consideration of impact assessment, namely a pre-assessment phase, an assessment phase and a post-assessment phase. An analysis of these different phases then allows for a range of technical and more ‘theological’ assessment complexities to be presented. With this background in place, the article moves on to examine the local-level experience in Ireland. It acknowledges the highly innovative nature of poverty proofing as originally introduced in 1998 and retitled poverty impact assessment following a 2006 review by the Office for Social Inclusion. However, it points to the l...

SHARE IT: co-designing a sustainability impact assessment framework for urban food sharing initiatives
(2019)
Davies, Anna; Mackenzie, Stephen G.
Abstract:
Urban food systems must undergo a significant transformation if they are to avoid impeding the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goals. One reconfiguration with claimed sustainability benefits is ICT-mediated food sharing ? an umbrella term used to refer to technologically-augmented collective or collaborative practices around growing, cooking, eating and redistributing food ? which some argue improves environmental efficiencies by reducing waste, providing opportunities to make or save money, building social networks and generally enhancing well-being. However, most sustainability claims for food sharing have not been evidenced by systematically collected and presented data. In this paper we document our response to this mismatch between claims and evidence through the development of the SHARECITY sustainability Impact assessment Toolkit (SHARE IT); a novel Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA) framework which has been co-designed with food sharing initiatives to better in...

Understanding the impacts of transboundary waste shipment policies: The case of plastic and electronic waste
(2020)
Parajuly, Keshav; Fitzpatrick, Colin
Abstract:
Impact assessment is a part of the policy implementation cycle, which can support the design and implementation of effective policies at a minimum cost. It can be instrumental in understanding policy options available to tackle a particular issue before devising a policy and in analyzing the performance of already implemented policy instruments with respect to the desired goals. When it comes to environmental policies, demonstrating the worth and merit of any regulation is even more important. The knowledge gathered from the evaluation of existing policies can help improve the quality of new environmental policies. This paper analyzes policy impacts and their assessments related to the transboundary movement of waste. E-waste and plastic waste fractions are used as cases in order to study three associated policies and their impact assessments. Learnings from the analysis are summarized and measures for strengthening the impact assessment approaches are recommended based on the evide...

Water quality monitoring during the construction of the M3 motorway in Ireland
(2013)
Purcell, Patrick J.; Bruen, Michael; O'Sullivan, J. J.; Cocchiglia, Letizia; Kelly-Quinn, Mary
Abstract:
The M3 motorway in Ireland was constructed between the years 2007 and 2010. The motorway crosses the River Boyne, which is a designated salmonid water under the EU Freshwater directive, and its tributaries. The paper describes the measures taken to mitigate any potential impacts which the road scheme might have had on the aquatic environment and the water quality of the Boyne watercourses before-, during- and post-construction. The success of the mitigation measures undertaken is assessed by: (a) comparing pre-construction, during-construction and post-construction water quality data, (b) comparing measured water quality with relevant standards, (c) comparing water quality data upstream and downstream of river crossings, (d) the establishment of a pilot-scale real-time water quality monitoring station at the downstream end of the works before discharge into the river Boyne. The study concluded that the measures taken have been successful in minimising the water quality impacts assoc...
