Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

Has the Taoiseach taken a walk along the Grand Canal lately? I did earlier today and over the weekend.
What is usually a public amenity for the citizens of Dublin, where you would see people on a day like today having a picnic or a jog along the canal, has seen fencing erected by this Government. The Taoiseach should not shake his head. He orchestrated a multi-agency task force. I argue strongly that rather than the tents, which are an equal failure, those hoardings are a reflection of the Government's failure. It is State-sponsored vandalism that is desecrating this city.
