The new Taskforce for Dublin has announced its big plan to revitalise the capital city.
At an event this week, an all-male panel led by Taoiseach Simon Harris, went through the taskforce’s 10-point plan. But the room was packed with political reporters eager to ask questions about the timing of the next election, so while the future of Dublin might have been the official reason everyone was there, the city and its future was not the main focus for the reporters in the room.
Irish Times Dublin editor Olivia Kelly was there to find out if the taskforce’s 10 “big moves” offered a new vision for the city – and one where the words might translate into action.
She tells In the News what the 10 “big moves” are and how – after she shook off the felling of deja vu – the report, which borrows heavily from the 70-plus such reports that have gone before, might make a difference for Dublin.
