Bríd Smith (Dublin South Central, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Ó Broin's last point is a very important one. We met and worked with many young people in the community who were trained, had been to college or worked in IT, and who were on reasonably decent wages, but could not afford to live in the area and have their own families there. The point about keeping the rents at a level where the community is sustainable, so those who were educated and reared around St. Michael's estate can continue to live there at an affordable rate, is an important one. The other issue that I am very concerned about is the timing. Can we put definite timelines on the project? I know that the Minister is sketching things roughly but we need very definite timelines on when all this is going to happen.
