Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I very much agree with the Deputy's sentiment. Work of that nature is under way. Targeting small areas of population that are in the greatest need can produce good results. We have seen some results in the north-east inner city. It is not a case of one size fits all but there is an approach like that happening in Drogheda at the moment, and the Cherry Orchard-Ballyfermot area is also under consideration. We certainly can take west Tallaght into account but it is not possible to apply that approach to every area.
