Dublin City Taskforce

The Dublin City Taskforce was established by Government in May 2024 to take a holistic view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin City Centre, north and south.

David McRedmond, CEO of An Post, acted as the Independent Chair and membership of the Taskforce was represented by key agencies working in the city centre in public service, community health, business and union, arts, culture and tourism as well as private sector representatives in the fields of architecture, urbanism and design.

The Taskforce was mandated to take an evidence-informed approach in its work and to provide recommendations to improve the City Centre’s public realm, safety, and experience. The goal is to make Dublin City Centre a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a desirable location to live, work, do business and visit.

The Report of the Dublin City Taskforce was published in October 2024.

Following its publication, the Government agreed that the Department of the Taoiseach would convene an Interdepartmental Group of senior officials, chaired by the Secretary General, to examine the Taskforce’s recommendations. The Interdepartmental Group published its report and accompanying roadmap which provides a course of action to implement the Taskforce’s recommendations.
