I am stepping in for my colleagues, Deputies Liam Quaide and Pádraig Rice, who are both asking about the task force for Cork. I caution my colleagues and the other Deputies around the Chamber who are asking similar questions. We have the report from the Dublin task force, which was released in October 2024 - a full year after it was announced by the then Taoiseach, Deputy Simon Harris, to great fanfare - and there still has not been a button given over from this Government to those plans. Dublin City Council is doing the work. It has a special purpose vehicle. My colleagues, Councillors Cian Farrell and Daniel Ennis, are on the working group, but all it is missing is the €140 million that was promised by the Taoiseach's Government last year. My simple question is this: when will that €140 million be given to the Dublin city task force because everyone else has fulfilled their roles?
