This morning/afternoon.
Charleville Mall Library, Dublin 1.
Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Eoghan Murphy, Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar and Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Josepha Madigan at an announcement that 88 projects are to be allocated a total of €100 million under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF).
As a key part of Project Ireland 2040 – the Government’s National Planning Framework and National Development Plan – the fund will help to “rejuvenate significant but underused areas in Ireland’s five cities and other large towns”.

No doubt there’ll be ructions here because Josepha is in a position where she doesn’t have equal access to the water and will have to ask for it to be passed to her!
Once again, what has this got to do with Madigan?
She’s in every photo op going. And she has objected to numerous developments in her constituency, so this is pure bull.
@Col – It suggests FG have some plan in mind for her for the next GE. Before the last GE I thought she was going to be an effective TD, these days she comes across more and more as a bit of a poodle.
Yeah, I mean she’s a relatively young female politician, a mother, had a successful career in law before entering politics.
I can see why she’s marketable, but getting involved in stuff like this when she has a history of objecting to developments in just a bit annoying.
Well they can start with that swath of land stretching half way up Infirmary Road owned by the Army. Then move on to the empty bit owned by Diageo running to Hueston station along the quays then up to Thomas street besides the Luas Red line.
Why must these things take so long?
Murphy – ‘So I take, like, all of this on the chin and I can be’…..(looks at Coveney)
Varadkar – ‘Yea, sure you can buddy!’….(winks at Harris)
Oooh, like Harold’s Cross, where thousands of new apartments are being built without any new parks, libraries, green spaces, theatres, playgrounds?
