Seán Haughey (Dublin Bay North, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The north inner city is an historic place, and the north inner city is just that, the north inner city. I will leave that up to the local community, but it is not a good idea.

The report will be published at the end of this week. The November 2016 deadline has already been missed, but I am glad that the report will be published.

I am long enough around here to know how these things work. There is a crisis, the Government has to be seen to be doing something, there is a media frenzy, a task force is set up, and once the media frenzy ends, the interest from and commitment by Government wanes. I hope that that is not the case in this instance and that there is a serious programme of implementation. I appreciate the Taoiseach's commitment to the project and I hope that he will be there to implement it.
