Chaired by An Post chief executive David McRedmond, the taskforce has put forward 10 “big moves” which aim to make the city safer, more welcoming and less run down.Four ideas to save Ireland’s pubs, restaurants and cafesChief among these is the deployment of 1,000 additional gardaí to Dublin 1 and Dublin 2, a number which Mr McRedmond said, was endorsed by An Garda Síochána.
