Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

Following the riots and the scenes we saw the week before last in Dublin, my Department met representatives of Dublin City Council and a number of business representative groups. We have agreed to provide funding to the council to immediately invest, which has already started, in the public realm in the inner city. Dublin City Council is leading on this, but it has multiple partners working with it to try to turn around some of the negative publicity and negative momentum that came from those scenes and to build up to Christmas in a much more positive way.
Obviously, a medium- and longer-term investment is required. The Government has invested and will continue to invest in the north inner city in terms of a rejuvenation programme, working with communities and businesses.
