Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I commit to that. The various meetings I have had on this issue have been very useful. Tipperary town is one of many that needs the new town centre first strategy. We need to have various initiatives. As I said earlier, we need a range of bypasses in these fantastic 19th-century market towns. They have fantastic architecture, strong resources and schools, churches, retail and pubs all within walking distance. It is about restoring them and returning them to real vibrancy with young families living in the centre. This is at the centre of the town centre first strategy. It will require bypasses, investment in restoration, particularly in historic buildings, a change in regulations to make this easier and more economic and a range of innovative measures. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is committed to this in the rural development strategy that we published recently.
