Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Sarah Rock:
The Dún Laoghaire Covid mobility works were probably unique in the fact that the council put itself out there, probably in a way that was never done before. The approach to stakeholder engagement, although not perfect and generally taken in a highly restrictive time, was really open. Those concerned learned as they went along. Key was the ability to meet people on the ground face to face insofar as it could be done to hear about their needs and issues and adapt on the ground while going along. That was unique. There is a lot to be learned from that process.
