A Government-backed plan to deal with issues facing Cherry Orchard, one of Dublin's most deprived areas, is to be published in April.
The Cherry Orchard Implementation Board was set up in the wake of escalating violence in 2022 that included cars being burnt out, open drug-dealing and joyriding.Advertisement Chair of the board, Brendan Foster, said thousands of homes planned for the area will bring employment and much needed facilities.
“A lot of the residents, a lot of the community based organisations would say that other the years they’ve had some false dawns, they’ve had plans, they’ve had lots of launches,” he said.“So you actually see on the ground, from Dublin City Council’s perspective, from a land development perspective, there will be lots of construction related activity.”Mr Foster added that improving the area will not happen overnight and described it as a long-term project.
