Gary Gannon (Dublin Central, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

In May 2024, the Government the Minister was part of formed the city centre task force for Dublin with an aim of restoring our beautiful city to what it can be. In September, that report was delivered to Government by the overseer of the report, David McRedmond. In November, the report was released to great fanfare and much PR. It features in the programme for Government. Whenever I ask, however, or whenever a question is raised in Dublin City Council, for example, seeking an update, we are told no funding stream has yet been allocated. The Minister walks the same streets I do and understands the need for investment. He is the Minister for Finance. When can we see a funding stream allocated to the city centre task force for Dublin so that we can bring our city back to what it should be?
