Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

While I do not want to get in the way of a discussion between the Deputy and my colleague the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, I accept the important issue in respect of regeneration. It is not only about the regeneration of homes and flats but also of communities and the importance of getting on with that. I am proud of the progress made. The flats on Dominick Street have now seen significant progress, as have the flats in O'Devaney Gardens, although I am not sure whether her party was always in support of that. As regards the flats at Constitutional Hill, my understanding is they are now being upgraded. We continue to want to see the regeneration of those projects. The Dublin city centre task force places a focus on a number of areas around this. I know Deputy McDonald fed into this task force and I hope we can work together on this issue in the time ahead.
