Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I welcome the Deputy and I believe he is correct. Most cities should give particular focus to their medieval spines. Both the Vikings and Normans had a very significant impact on Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Dublin, of course. It is interesting that, at times, those medieval spines have not been well preserved architecturally, and some of the reasons for that can relate to development issues and so on. Yes, in short, I would be very supportive of any such measures. I know there are mechanisms and particular vehicles have been established by Limerick City Council, the focus of which has been to develop urban regeneration in Limerick city, and perhaps that could be the vehicle through which these ambitions could be realised.
