Promoting Nightlife, Economy and Culture: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Conor Falvey:
I do not see this as an issue where we step in with a quick intervention or a magic-wand solution and everything is fixed. This might require rolling monitoring. Reverting to a previous point, perhaps these spaces presented themselves in the type of city that Dublin once was and this arose more organically, making it easier to find opportunities to engage in those types of activity. Perhaps a function of the city's economic success in a global sense is that finding these opportunities is a little more challenging now. That is the evidence base we need to establish. What factors that are different to the natural ebb and flow are inhibiting opportunities? It may not be a case where we should step in, make an intervention and step out. Who knows?
