Rober Watt

Rober Watt is a former Department of Health secretary general and the newly appointed chief executive of the Dublin Regeneration Authority. He has expressed concerns about the declining state of Dublin city center, particularly O’Connell Street, and advocates for empowering local authorities with more financial autonomy and responsibilities. Watt believes that talented local officials are best positioned to address community issues and calls for a public debate on local government reform to facilitate more effective governance and revitalization of the city's assets.
