Dublin City Taskforce

Mary supports the recommendations from the Dublin City Taskforce. The taskforce has called for more people living in the city centre, a healthy, vibrant, always-on city that respects its heritage and streets that look cleaner and feel safer.

The taskforce makes 10 key recommendations:

  • Revitalise O’Connell Street and environs
  • Prioritise the total regeneration of social housing
    complexes in the city centre
  • Convert derelict sites into high-density residential
    with provision for essential workers
  • Make policing and security more visible and add 1000 more Gardaí
  • Deliver more targeted and better located services for
    vulnerable populations in city centre
  • Implement a dedicated waste management plan for the city centre
  • Operate the City Centre Transport Plan with agility
  • Offer Dubliners compelling reasons to visit the city centre
  • Create a marketing and communications function for Dublin
  • Evolve appropriate governance for a capital city

If implemented, the plan will make Dublin a safer, cleaner and more liveable city for all who live, work and visit the city.
