The word "ICE" is a really negative word with very negative connotations, but when I said the word "ICE" this morning I was saying it in the north inner city. It is a very positive thing because ICE stands for the Inner City Enterprise. For those who do not know, it is a social enterprise referred to as the hub on the hill. Going up Constitution Hill towards Broadstone, it is on the right hand side. It is the old Dublin City Council Coleraine Street housing depot. It used to be an old housing depot and it became a regeneration project. Critically, it is now a social enterprise hub and a place in the north inner city where individuals with ideas, entrepreneurial spirit and innovation in their hearts can go. They can receive training and mentoring and there are workspaces available. It is a great collaboration between the social enterprise, Inner City Enterprise, with Dublin City Council providing the property. Roughly €500,000 was provided by the Minister, Deputy Dara Calleary, in the most recent tranche of funding to launch phase 2 this morning. Critically, businesses in the city have come on board and are supporting it. Very large enterprises in Dublin like Meta, Accenture and Bank of New York are all supporting individuals and small groups of people to explore, develop and succeed with their entrepreneurial activities.

The hub on the hill is a place of hope, ambition and opportunity. I congratulate everybody at Inner City Enterprise, including Evanne Kilmurray, CEO, Vincent Crowley, chairperson, and the whole team. Most importantly, I congratulate the people who go there daily and are making their dreams come alive. They have written outside "Dream big, start small, act now", and that is what is happening there. It is a great innovation and they all deserve to be congratulated.
