I propose to take Questions No. 1 and 3 together.
On 21 October last I launched the Report of the Dublin City Taskforce at the GPO on O’Connell Street.
The Taskforce was appointed by the government in May 2024 to take a holistic view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin City Centre, north and south. David McRedmond, CEO of An Post, served as Independent Chair of the Taskforce and presented his report to me in September 2024.
The Taskforce was mandated to take an evidence-informed approach in its work and to provide recommendations to improve the City Centre’s public realm, safety, and experience. The goal is to make Dublin City Centre a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a desirable location to live, work, do business and visit.
To deliver on these missions, the Taskforce identified ten ‘Big Moves’ that they recommend should be addressed.
As agreed by Government, the Department of the Taoiseach has convened an Interdepartmental Group to examine the Taskforce’s recommendations and prepare a Report by mid-December for consideration by Government.
