Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan 2018-2022

Linking the Plans

The LECP provides the economic and community framework for all economic and
community development in Co. Louth. In its preparation the Louth LCDC ensured Healthy
Ireland and its associated plans were firmly embedded in the local LECP as guided by the
then Dept. of Environment, Community and Local Government. Louth LCDC employed the
Healthy Ireland triangulation process to identify the key priority areas to be included in
the Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan.

Profiling Outcomes

This process ensured that the priority themes are fully coherent with Healthy
Ireland, Louth LECP, and the full range of relevant national strategies. They are
also informed by the socio-demographic profile and the targeted consultation
held. This ensures that Healthy Ireland for Louth will achieve Healthy Ireland
actions at local level.

Therefore, when preparing the Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan the following
methodology was used:

• Identify all actions in Healthy Ireland which had local government assigned as
key partners in their delivery

• Map similar actions across the suites of seven associated plans

• Align these actions to corresponding actions in the Louth LECP

• Identified key priority areas from this process as “Shared Space, “Shared
Knowledge” and “Shared Wellbeing”

• Received approval from LCDC to draft the Healthy Ireland Plan for Louth under
these priority areas
