Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

I have frequently raised the issue of the need for the regeneration of housing in the inner city. I think we all agree that the inner city complexes are in a dire state of neglect. While many are earmarked for regeneration in the coming years, there needs to be more urgency. Dublin's public realm also needs to experience regeneration. Recently, I met several business owners and residents from Temple Bar thanks to Mr. Stephen Kennedy of Copper and Straw coffee shop on Arran Quay. I recommend that the Taoiseach drop in there for a coffee to see the daily chaos in that area. It is a constant battle for the people in the area doing business. What vision has the Government for public realm improvements and regeneration?
