About D8 Green Bridge forum

The D8 Green Bridge forum (D8GBF) is an active forum that meets monthly. It values and supports access to and the development of quality public green and blue spaces in order to progress connectivity and community well-being across Dublin 8.

Its current projects include improving access and environmental initiatives including the Grand Canal Tow Path, walks and talks, the development of Turvey Park as a quality biodiverse greenspace, and the development of quality public green space in public housing at Tyrone Place, future Emmet Road development and Dolphin House.

The forum emerged out of the recommendations of Mapping Green Dublin (2019 – 2021) a collaborative action research project funded by the EPA and led by UCD’s School of Geography in collaboration with arts organisation Common Ground and artist Seoidín O’Sullivan.

Common Ground is an arts development organisation based in Inchicore and supports the D8GBF, for more information e: [email protected]
