Barry Heneghan (Dublin Bay North, Independent)

The Minister of State visited the site and the residents are really thankful. While I am following up, the consequences of the poor co-ordination of infrastructure in Clongriffin and Belmayne in my constituency are being felt every day by residents. It is an extremely densely populated area, but there are no community facilities, including no library, no primary healthcare and an undersupply of school places. A submission has been made by Dublin City Council and I hope it will be looked at by the Minister. I was recently at a meeting with the LDA and the residents groups, and the communication had nothing about how the deficit would be addressed. I really hope the Minister will bring in these reforms and we will see visible change in north Dublin.
