Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

The Taoiseach will be aware that on page 85 of the programme for Government there is a commitment to replicate the north-east inner city model of support for communities at particular disadvantage. He will also be aware that last week, a report entitled, Darndale A Long View of an Enduring Challenge, was published on behalf of the city council. Among other things, it calls for a co-ordinated delivery structure, a new approach to crime prevention or a broken windows strategy, as it were, a bespoke education programme and wrap-around youth services. I had the opportunity to meet Sphere 17 Regional Youth Service, which is seeking 450 additional service days to help support this community in a difficult time. Will the Taoiseach put in place a structure to start to implement that commitment in the programme for Government so this report that has just been published can be brought to life?
