The Dublin Taskforce published their report and recommendations on 21 October 2024.

The report sets out a lot of good ideas.
Some of those of greatest interest to pubs across Dublin include:
-
Make policing and security more visible and add 1000 more Gardaí.
-
Increase night-time transport services.
-
Implement a dedicated waste management plan for the city centre.
However, since publication there has been no sign of action from Government or Dublin City Council towards making these positive ideas a reality.
This is despite Dublin City Council's own survey showing:
-
-
Only 1 in 3 people feel safe in the city centre at night.
-
55% are in favour of improved night-time transport.
-
Only 1 in 6 (16%) believe there is good public transport available between midnight and 6am.
