Ms Fran Neary:

It would be brilliant if funding were available to support that, but who will oversee that funding? When we have our Ballymun for All meetings, everyone comes around the table voluntarily. People are perhaps moving a priority to be able to go to an important meeting in order to meet the needs of the community, but we are putting other work aside in order to do that. We are prioritising. It is another layer, as Ms. Ní Chonchubhair has said, on top of a community whose needs we are still trying to meet and we do not have enough resources to do that at the moment.

We are spreading ourselves even more thinly than before. Resources are great and manpower is absolutely huge. It is about that collective focus where we can all come together to understand, and for somebody to oversee that structure.
