Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We all know the pressure our emergency services face during the Hallowe'en period. I can only agree with the Deputy that we should urge people to engage in safe behaviour and get involved in the many activities local councils across Dublin are organising to ensure we do not have the types of dangerous incidents that have resulted in many children ending up in Temple Street and Crumlin children's hospitals in recent years.

The Government has shown its intentions regarding the investment we need in infrastructure. We will shortly publish the national investment programme for infrastructure.

The model used in the north inner city, which involves bringing together communities and their representatives and developing services, must be replicated across the country.
