The Last Word with Matt Cooper · What Is Planned For The GPO Redevelopment? · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

I don't think you have, to be fair.

I don't think you have.

And I think if you look at what we're putting forward today is different.

And it's actually setting out a kind of a plan over a number of years to have the phased renewal done.

of revival and regeneration of both the GPO in an inclusive way, but also the O'Connell Street more generally.

And I suppose what I would say to you is, you know, I haven't, since I've been in politics 10 years as a TD, there hasn't been a plan set out for the GPO.

There's been reports and recommendations.

This isn't that.

We've transferred it to the OPW.

We want to intensify its use in terms of office space, community use, civic space.

bring people into it in the short term so that it has more meaning in people's lives on a daily basis, how it can improve the public realm.

And, you know, and then we've put money aside to actually make it happen.

So, look, I speak to people every day about, you know, cynicism on wider issues in terms of delivery, which we are trying to cut through the crap.

I mean, we've too many reports and recommendations that just circle around and people don't see progress on.

That's why we're cutting layers, we're cutting some of the rules around the guidelines so that we make things happen.

You're going to see some of the economic infrastructure, things are going to move quicker.

Greater Dublin drainage, metro, some of the projects that I've been in here about before are going to move quicker.

And I've more confidence around that because we're accelerating it, we're promoting delivery, we're wanting people, civil servants to take more risks.

This time is going to be different, isn't it?

This government will start it.
