Let me tell Ms McPhillips about the journey we made in Ballymun. In 2017, we wrote to the then Taoiseach asking for a north inner city model in our community. It was recommended that we would have a local authority-led intervention. In 2019, when I was Lord Mayor, I commissioned with the city council a report entitled Ballymun – A Brighter Future: A Plan to Tackle the Underlying Causes of Addiction and Crime and to Tackle Open Drug Dealing, which was written by Mr. Andrew Montague. It is a really strong report.
