Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

For months, the Government has watched Mount Street turn into a tented city. Fine Gael's neglect of the inner city continues. Many residents do not feel safe around Mount Street or, indeed, anywhere in the city. Small local businesses next to Mount Street are on the brink of closing down because of the shambles this Government has created. The people I represent are sick of this Government and of being treated so disgracefully and neglected. If this happened on the streets in Greystones or Ballsbridge, we would see decisive action but because it is the inner city, it is being ignored and neglected. Families are living in flats riddled with dampness and mould. The continued neglect of the inner city needs to stop. Everyone agrees that what is happening on Mount Street is shambolic. Talk is cheap. What will the Government actually do about it?
