Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Richard Shakespeare:
In answer to the first part of the Deputy's query, we review constantly what we do in terms of an enhanced public realm and public space. The comments of my colleague, Mr. Coilín O’Reilly, came at a particular point in time when there was no outdoor dining. We took a cautious approach and in response to calls from various sectors, we deployed 150 extra toilets. All public buildings that had toilets were opened. We deployed an extra 134 bins of varying sizes throughout the city where we believed they were needed. Things were said at particular points in time in the environment we live in and where we were with the reopening of the city and of premises.
