Mr Kenny said Dublin city and its people are facing a real crisis.

"The City Development Board is the only citywide partnership that can develop a response to the issues facing the whole City by agencies working together.

"Put simply, service providers must do more with less, to ensure ordinary Dubliners are protected from the worst effects of this downturn."

Martin Kavanagh, Director of Community and Enterprise Dublin City, said this Action Plan provides practical solutions to some of the problems facing Dubliners.

"Our job is to work with other members of the Development Board to improve the services provided to the people of Dublin."
