Labour sets out multi-billion euro proposal for capital

LABOUR yesterday launched a multi-billioneuro plan for Dublin which it said would transform it into one of the great cities of the world.

New proposals include converting the GPO into a lending library, creating a Greater Dublin Authority with a directly-elected Mayor, and a pedestrianised College Green (the wide space at the east end of Dame Street in front of Trinity College).

The party’s enterprise spokesperson Ruairí Quinn launched the 10-point plan at a rally in central Dublin yesterday.
