I draw the House's attention to the wonderful festival that took place last weekend in Phibsborough. Phizzfest leads the way when it comes to urban festivals. There was everything from Joyce to gospel choir, folk music and bluegrass. There was great quack at the duck race. There was clothes swapping and a fabulous flea market. Truly, Phibsborough was fizzing, as they would say themselves. It was a fantastic community achievement. I congratulate everybody who was involved in it. It would not happen without volunteers. There was enormous voluntary effort on display. It showed the best of Dublin city. I congratulate and thank everybody who gave their time to provide both the city and everybody in Phibsborough with such a fantastic festival.
