The incoming President of Dublin Chamber is expected to warn about Dublin's vulnerabilities, including housing, infrastructure and current skills, when she addresses the organisation’s annual dinner tonight.
Siobhan O’Shea will also caution against the risks that would stem from delaying the growth of the capital by not addressing these crucial areas.
The Indeed Director, who is taking over from outgoing President Stephen O’Leary, will tell attendees that current risks include constraints on the development of housing in the city along with delays to the delivery of infrastructure projects such as Dart Plus and MetroLink.
She will also refer to issues with Dublin’s water supply, during her address.
Ms O’Shea will also focus on the topic of safety in the capital, following last year’s city centre riots and the focus on the need for more visible policing.
On a more positive note, Ms O’Shea is also expected to highlight Dublin’s diversity, community strength, as well as its economic strengths.
She will also attribute much of the success in Dublin’s economy to the diversity and innovation within the workforce.
The dinner, which will be attended by 600 business representatives, will also be addressed by the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar.
