A VISION FOR DUBLIN - A POLICY FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CAPITAL CITY
The DRC has been working on an exciting new policy initiative
called "A Vision for Dublin" over the past few months. This pro-
ject has covered a wide range of topics relating to Dublin and its
future. From Community Policing to local Government reform,
from renaming the Quays to supporting economic growth, taxa-
tion to strategic infrastructure. The working first Draft of Vi-
sion for Dublin is now complete after 5 consultation meetings
with members on a wide range of topics. The first draft will be
discussed by the members at Dublin Day and is playing a large
part in the theme of the weekend.
