Dublin city debate

Summary

Deputy Gannon called for Chamber time on Dublin city issues, linking them to local government, health, drug addiction and policing.

For over a year, I have been writing to the Business Committee to request statements on the city of Dublin specifically. Tonight, "RTÉ Investigates" will lay bare the reason I have been doing so in a programme on our nation's capital, its main thoroughfare and all the related issues. This Chamber needs to take an interest in the capital city. There are issues there that go across Departments and strike at the very heart of problems like the absence of local government, health and how we treat people who are in the throes of drug addiction, and justice with respect to how we police these streets. This warrants a discussion in the Chamber. I ask that we do it at the nearest available opportunity.
