It is just that when the urban regeneration catalysts were mentioned, at the sixth or seventh point the document referred to place-making and the public realm on Liffey Street, Talbot Street, Cathal Brugha Street, Capel Street and Parliament Street. I know the witnesses have been presented with this so I understand. It seems to be all centred on the north inner city and I am very happy for the north inner city. There is the Parnell Square cultural centre, Dalymount Park - good luck to them - and George's Dock. It all seems to be centred towards the north inner city. It is really important that the work would be replicated in the south inner city. They are in effect one community, as Mr. Mitchell knows. He has worked in those communities. The trouble is that the task force and the State have divided the two communities, in effect, in terms of resourcing. Mr. Flynn's statement towards the end asks the State to consider the following recommendations: "Confirm the funding commitment for the Dublin city centre task force. The city council anticipates approximately €114m in Government funding". That task force was announced last April or May. It was reported over a year ago. When is the funding expected to come on stream and be delivered by the Government? Nothing can happen without it.
