Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

However, many northsiders looked on this project as a stimulus package to develop the local economy through the provision of thousands of jobs and the impact it would have on local businesses. There was a great deal of disappointment. I accept budgets are tight and everything is difficult but I urge the Minister of State to revisit this project which has significant potential for job creation and economic development on the north side of Dublin. Do not mind all the yuppies on the south side who seem to have a problem about the north side.
