Written answers

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

Dublin City Council submitted proposals to my Department in 2001 to refurbish the maisonettes at Bunratty Road, Coolock under the remedial works scheme. My Department raised concerns in relation to the value for money aspect of the proposal. Subsequently, the City Council informed my Department in May 2003 that a complete review of the proposal was been undertaken. Revised proposals are awaited from the City Council.
