The Government remains fully committed to the important work that has been underway in Dublin’s North East Inner City (NEIC) to oversee the long-term social and economic regeneration of the area.

The NEIC Programme Implementation Board, which was established following publication of the Mulvey Report, and comprises government departments and agencies, alongside community representatives, will continue this work and ensure sustained momentum for the many initiatives being driven under the Board’s programme of work.

Arrangements will be made for the appointment of a new Chair of the Board and I will advise Government of a nominee in due course. In the interim, the work of the Board will continue with the support of the Department of the Taoiseach.
