Violent and antisocial behaviour along with lack of forethought for city’s future threaten capital’s standing for tourism, say leading retailers, cultural bodies and business organisations
Should Dublin Port relocate? Yes, according to a submission made to Dublin City Council by a group called the Docklands Business Forum, as the council prepares its development plan for the city for the next six years. But the idea also has many detractors, not least Dublin Port Company which plans to grow its operations where it is. Alan Robinson is CEO of the Docklands Business Forum and he joins Ciaran and Current Affairs editor Arthur Beesley to explain why he thinks the port would be better off elsewhere.
Ciaran is also joined by Dublin editor Olivia Kelly to look at why Dublin City Council wants to block the construction of "build-to-rent" apartments in the city, and how it is running into problems in its efforts to do so.
