On 7 May 2024, the Government agreed to appoint a Taskforce to take a holistic view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin City Centre, north and south.
The goal is to make Dublin City Centre a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a desirable location to live, work, do business and visit for all communities.
The Taskforce will take an evidence-informed approach in its work and will provide recommendations to improve the City Centre’s public realm, safety, and experience. It will harness existing efforts and initiatives underway including within the Dublin City Co-ordination Office, as well as existing initiatives such as Dublin’s North East Inner City Initiative and the Dublin North Inner City Local Community Safety Partnership.
Membership of the Taskforce will be a maximum of 12, led by independent Chair Mr. David McRedmond CEO of An Post, who will bring his wealth of insights and experience to the role. Membership will include representatives from Public Service including An Garda Síochána, Local Authority representatives including the Night Time Economy Adviser and the National Transport Authority, representatives of city centre businesses, Trade Union representative, representatives from Community and Service Provider sectors and Cultural & Arts providers.
