Scéim Mionoibreacha um Maolú Tuile agus Cosaint Chósta

Thug Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí an Scéim Mionoibreacha Maolaithe Tuilte agus Cosanta Cósta (Scéim na Mionoibreacha) isteach in 2009.

Cuspóir Scéim na Mionoibreacha

Is é cuspóir Scéim na Mionoibreacha maoiniú a chur ar fáil d’Údaráis Áitiúla chun tabhairt faoi staidéir agus/nó oibreacha laistigh dá limistéir riaracháin le haghaidh:

  • mionbhearta maolaithe tuilte chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar bhaol tuilte logánta do réadmhaoin ó fhoinsí abhann, cósta/taoide agus screamhuisce agus chun an baol sin a bhainistiú, agus
  • fadhbanna cosanta cósta (creimeadh) – mar shampla, ‘an líne a choinneáil’ nó ‘an cúlú a bhainistiú’.

Tá trí chatagóir leathana tionscadal maoinithe faoi Scéim na Mionoibreacha: staidéir, oibreacha, nó staidéir agus oibreacha gaolmhara. De ghnáth bíonn feidhm ag Scéim na Mionoibreacha nuair is féidir réiteach a aithint go héasca agus a bhaint amach laistigh de thréimhse ghearr ama.

Tá an Scéim ar fáil freisin d’údaráis áitiúla chun bearta eatramhacha a thabhairt isteach do na pobail sin, i gcás ina bhfuil scéim mhór cosanta tuilte beartaithe, ach nach bhfuil sí críochnaithe go fóill. Ní bhreithneofar iarratais ar bhearta eatramhacha ach suas leis an am a dhéantar iarratas ar thoiliú pleanála le haghaidh mórscéime.

Tá an tÚdarás Áitiúil freagrach as an tionscadal a chur i gcrích, lena n-áirítear gach toiliú riachtanach a fháil agus a chinntiú nach mbeidh na hoibreacha beartaithe ina gcúis le rioscaí tuilte/creimthe in áit eile.

Eisiaimh ón Scéim

Ní áirítear an méid seo a leanas i maoiniú faoi Scéim na Mionoibreacha:

  • staidéir nó oibreacha a sholáthraíonn draenáil talún nó bainistiú tuilte do thailte amháin,
  • na costais a bhaineann le cothabháil leanúnach na n-oibreacha a cuireadh i gcrích le maoiniú a ceadaíodh faoi Scéim na Mionoibreacha,
  • oibreacha ceadaithe nach bhfuil á gcothabháil a thabhairt ar ais trí Scéim na Mionoibreacha,
  • staidéir agus oibreacha le haghaidh riosca tuile nach bhfuil Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí freagrach astu, lena n-áirítear:
    • ó chórais draenála uisce dromchla/stoirmeacha/comhchórais draenála, atá faoi fhreagracht na n-údarás áitiúil/Uisce Éireann,
    • draenacha/silteáin a dhíbhlocáil, atá faoi fhreagracht na n-údarás áitiúil/Uisce Éireann,
    • bearta práinnfhreagartha, a bhfuil údaráis áitiúla agus an tAire Tithíochta, Rialtais Áitiúil agus Oidhreachta freagrach astu, agus
    • cothabháil a dhéanamh ar chainéil agus ar dhroichid atá faoi chúram Gníomhaireachtaí Stáit, lena n-áirítear cothabháil a dhéanamh ar Cheantair Draenála (freagracht na n-údarás áitiúil), agus ar dhroichid bhóthair/iarnróid atá faoi fhreagracht Bhonneagar Iompair Éireann/Iarnród Éireann.

Faoin Scéim, breithnítear iarratais ar mhaoiniú, ó Phríomhfheidhmeannach Údaráis Áitiúil nó ó Stiúrthóir Seirbhísí, do thionscadail suas le €2 mhilliún an ceann, agus déantar staidéar ar suas le €750,000 an ceann.

Is é 90% don chéad €300,000 a ceadaíodh ranníocaíocht Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí le tionscadail cheadaithe agus méadaíonn sí go 95% do chomhardú an mhaoinithe cheadaithe os cionn €300,000 suas le €2 mhilliún. Is ar an Údarás Áitiúil atá an fhreagracht i gcónaí aon chaiteachas ar thionscadail os cionn na dteorainneacha ceadaithe (agus méideanna ceadaithe le haghaidh iarratais aonair) a sholáthar óna n-acmhainní féin chun an staidéar/na hoibreacha a chur i gcrích.

Déanann Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí measúnú ar iarratais ag féachaint do chritéir shonracha, lena n-áirítear critéir theicniúla agus eacnamaíocha araon don tionscadal foriomlán. Áirítear leis na critéir eacnamaíocha na hoibreacha a bhaineann cóimheas costais sochair 1 nó paireacht amach, agus na luachálacha forordaithe don scéim á n-úsáid.

Tá an próiseas iarratais agus ceadaithe faoi réir an méid maoinithe atá á lorg agus an chineáil oibreacha. Maidir le staidéir agus oibreacha suas le €750,000, ar a dtugtar tionscadail Bhanda 1, tá dhá fhoirm iarratais ann, ceann amháin do thionscadail a bhaineann le tuilte (cósta agus neamhchósta) agus foirm ar leith do thionscadail a bhaineann le creimeadh cósta. Déanfaidh Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí measúnú ar iarratais ar thionscadail Bhanda 1 de réir chritéir na scéime, ag féachaint don chlár náisiúnta do scéimeanna cosanta tuilte agus don obair atá ar bun ar Straitéis Náisiúnta um Bainistiú Athruithe Cósta a fhorbairt.

I gcás na n-oibreacha sin (staidéar agus oibreacha) do thionscadail maolaithe tuilte os cionn €750,000 suas le €2 mhilliún, ar a dtugtar tionscadail Bhanda 2, cuirtear creat rialachais trí chéim i bhfeidhm:

  • is é an chéad chéim ná go gcuirfidh údaráis áitiúla cás gnó isteach do na hoibreacha/staidéir atá beartaithe.
  • cuimseoidh ceadú chun dul ar aghaidh an tionscadal a chur ar aghaidh chuig cur isteach le haghaidh pleanála, sa chás go dteastaíonn ceadú chun cur isteach ar phleanáil.
  • faoi réir toiliú pleanála, is é ceadú chun dul ar aghaidh chuig an tógáil an tríú tairseach ceadaithe.

Ag gach tairseach, déanfaidh Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí measúnú ar iarratais ar thionscadail Bhanda 2 de réir chritéir na scéime agus an chláir náisiúnta um scéimeanna cosanta tuilte agus na hoibre atá ar bun chun Straitéis Náisiúnta um Bainistiú Athruithe Cósta a fhorbairt. Coinneoidh Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí na critéir do Scéim na Mionoibreacha faoi athbhreithniú.

Léirítear sa tábla thíos liosta de na tionscadail a bhfuil maoiniú ceadaithe ina leith. Tá tuilleadh eolais agus na foirmeacha iarratais ar Scéim na Mionoibreacha le fáil ar gov.ie
