The Dublin City Taskforce announced by the Taoiseach must be more than a media event. For a safer, cleaner, more liveable city we need:

Policing

• Reintroduction of small area policing
• Greater garda numbers and visibility in the city
• More community Gardai
• Introduction of Public Transport Police
• 24/7 criminal District Court in Dublin

Cleaner Streets

• Increased street cleaning
• Increased street lighting and lighting enhancements
• Saturday evening rubbish collection

Tackling Vacancy & Dereliction

• An acceleration of regeneration projects in the city such as Dominick Street Flats, St Mary’s Place, the City Library, The Fruit and Vegetable Market, The National Monument, Constitution Hill flats
