Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the establishment of the task force to rejuvenate Dublin city centre to make it thriving, attractive and safe. David McRedmond will come up with innovative ideas and will integrate across agencies, including, local authorities, the NTA and the HSE. The key to success will be the provision of a budget to fund cross-sector and cross-silo initiatives. I would be keen that, in preparation for the budget, significant moneys would be made available for this particular initiative as well as for the community safety plans that will be a feature of every community in the country.
