Charlie O'Connor

Question:

793 Mr. O’Connor asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the plans by his Department to fund further council housing refurbishment programmes in Tallaght, Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11415/04]

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

My Department approved South Dublin County Council's proposals in July, 2003 for the refurbishment of 100 houses at Cushlawn Park, 100 houses at Shancastle and Greenfort Estates and 113 houses at Moorefield Estate under my its remedial works scheme at an estimated cost of €8.6 million.

While there are no further proposals in my Department from the council it is expected that further phases of refurbishment works will be proposed when this first phase is completed.
