The aim of the North East Inner City Integrated Area Plan is to rejuvenate one of Dublin’s most deprived areas. In addition - by building on its unique character and strengths - it aims to create an area where people and families will choose to live, work and invest for the future.
This project commenced in 1998 after extensive consultation with the local community.
