Revolutionary plans have been drawn up for O'Connell Street that may rehabilitate the entire area, but the link between that street and North Great George's Street is Parnell Street, which is a scab on the face of Dublin. It is intolerable that such a street can be permitted to continue in its current state in the heart of the Taoiseach's constituency. It is full of lap dancing clubs, gaming establishments and half demolished buildings while the Ambassador Cinema has been turned into a boozer.
