Financial Resolutions, 1982. - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed).
Dublin South East): I am very pleased to have the opportunity, as Minister of State at the Department of the Environment with special responsibility for matters relating to urban renewal, to elaborate...
(Dublin South-East): I appreciate the Deputy's point of view. This is one of the great problems with regard to urban renewal. Much of it is subject to personal appreciation. The information coming t...
(Dublin South-East): I appreciate what the Deputy has said.
(Dublin South-East): I am contrasting these buildings with some of the very ugly buildings that do not blend in with Dublin. I should like to take this opportunity to welcome any positive suggestions...
(Dublin South-East): I am delighted the Deputy is present this morning because obviously he appreciates many of the problems of the inner city. I am going to visit Cork next week. At a recent deputat...
(Dublin South-East): A lot of work can be done in this area. If private enterprise, in conjunction with the local authorities, is encouraged to work in this direction an immense amount of work can be...

(Dublin South-East): The situation is that, as the law stands at present, one could go out with one's dustbin and dump it in Grafton Street. Deputy Kelly is well aware of the law and how the courts ar...
(Dublin South-East): In the new litter Bill I am also introducing amendments to counteract this problem of graffiti, litter and flyposting. On the question of law enforcement, I think £500 is a hefty...
(Dublin South-East): I regret that I did not hear what Deputy Kelly said.
(Dublin South-East): I feel that Deputy Kelly does his best to make constructive contributions at all times.
(Dublin South-East): Yes, I am concluding now. Measures such as traffic rerouting, improved parking facilities, pedestrianisation have a beneficial effect and help to revitalise city life. Special b...
(Dublin South-East): That is correct.
(Dublin South-East): That is not progressive thinking.
