Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We should have a capital that is thriving. The people in the capital are doing their very best but they feel as though they are engaged in a battle with this Government. That is a fact. We need to see the conditions created to enable people to raise their kids in safety, build a life for themselves and ensure that Dublin city is a place where people want to be because it is a fantastic place to live. It is a brilliant place to bring up kids. It is a wonderful place in which to do business. However, all of that is at risk. We need investment and we need it badly.
