Catherine Byrne (Dublin South Central, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the decision by Dublin City Council to shelve a number of capital projects in Dublin South-Central, such as, the new civic space at Kilmainham Jail, the Lutyens Bridge and the gateway to Islandbridge, the Camac greenland walkway, the improvements to Rialto and Inchicore villages, improvements to the Ballyfermot civic centre space and the Crumlin leisure centre. Unfortunately, unlike other Deputies, I do not have the "sell your soul" letter given by the previous Taoiseach. I ask that all citizens and communities be treated in the same way. I ask the Government to honour the commitments made to these communities and guarantee that these projects will be completed and not put on the shelf indefinitely.
