“I'm the Minister with responsibility for retail and at my first Retail Forum, the number one issue of concern to retailers was the Dublin City Transport Plan,” she toldShe said the meeting was “productive” - and retailers simply want “meaningful engagement” from DCC.“Some retailers are saying would this be better timed after Christmas.
Deputy Higgins said the retail forum discussed possibilities such as beginning the traffic plan after Christmas and introducing it on a “phased” basis.“That's the kind of concerns I'm talking about, which I think are really easy to address if we have discussions about them.
