I want to ask the Tánaiste about Dublin's O'Connell Street. The "RTÉ Investigates" documentary last week encapsulates many of the problems that probably any of us who live or work in the city knew have been happening there for a long time. I put it to the Tánaiste that the issues on O'Connell Street are vast and complex and require a multi-departmental approach. Dublin City Council is pointing at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The Garda is saying it cannot police what are ostensibly health-based issues. In six weeks' time, the Tánaiste potentially will be the Taoiseach. Will the Tánaiste commit to having a Taoiseach's task force on the rejuvenation of the main thoroughfare in our city's capital because it is long past time we had leadership on this issue?

The problems we have in O'Connell Street are long-standing and, as the Deputy stated, complex. The issues range from dereliction to planning, addiction and policing. They are complex. It is not only O'Connell Street, by the way. It might be the worst manifestation of some of the problems that we have but there are other streets that are not in good condition either. There is already a north-east inner city task force, as the Deputy will be aware.

It does not cover O'Connell Street.

Perhaps extending that to cover O'Connell Street might be something worth considering but I do not want to make any commitments on the hoof.
