The extension of the living city initiative is part of the programme for Government and I ask the Taoiseach to extend the initiative to Drogheda. Drogheda is the largest town in the country and has the population of a city without any of the perks. It has, like other large towns across the State, been neglected by successive Governments for decades, and many of the buildings that would benefit from inclusion in the living city initiative are in dire need of refurbishment and regeneration. The extension of the initiative would be of very little cost to the Government so I ask the Taoiseach to consider extending it to Drogheda.
