In 2021, my Department provided €6.5 million to the North East Inner City Initiative (NEIC) and I am pleased that the funding has been increased by a further €1 million in 2022. This year under the NEIC Initiative, my Department will be providing €7.5 million towards the regeneration of the Dublin North East Inner City area to help ensure that the recommendations of the Mulvey Report and the actions contained in the NEIC Strategic Plan 2020 - 2022 are implemented.
On 2 December last, the 2021 Progress Report for the North East Inner City Initiative was launched by the Taoiseach highlighting all of the work progressed throughout the year. This Report, along with all of the Progress Reports since 2017, is available on the NEIC website, www.neic.ie/news/neic-progress-report-2021.
The Government remains committed to supporting and investing in the North East Inner City community and ensuring that the Chairperson and Programme Implementation Board have the necessary resources to help make the area a better place in which to live and work.
