At a special meeting on Monday night to discuss the report of the taskforce, which was published last month, councillors also said the implementation of the recommendations must be led by the Dublin City Council. Dublin City Council chief executive Richard Shakespeare told the council meeting he did not expect any firm commitments on funding until the incoming Government is in place.
He instanced the feasibility “for example, of a Limerick 2030-style initiative to help fund the conversion of derelict sites for city centre living.” He also mentioned efforts to make the city free from illegal dumping “and whether it is possible” or whether the city should take over the wast collection service and run it as it did in the past.
