The Dublin.ie web page was commended and comments were made on how well presented it was. Suggestions were made that it could possibly be aimed more at citizens of Dublin. It is a tool to attract business and investment to the City and an asset to the City. Discussions arose around the reduction in footfall in the City Centre and the need to attract visitors to the City Centre through promotion of cultural activities and exhibitions through the Dublin.ie page. The growth of digital nomads and the need to find one core message which could be applied across a broader aspect in terms of brand strategy were discussed and commented on. In general the strategy development was welcomed by Members. It was noted by Members that there was however a possible downplaying of the negatives and challenges across the City and the issues facing Members in developing and formulating policy were discussed.
