Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
1173 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the breakdown of the costings for the refurbishment of a building (details supplied) in Dublin 7; the work that will be carried out to the building funded under the national drugs strategy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29440/08]
View answerIn March 2008, my Department approved funding of €860,988 towards the cost of refurbishing the building in question in Manor Street, Dublin 7 under the National Drugs Strategy's Premises Initiative. This followed an application from the North Inner City Local Drugs Task Force for funding to accommodate the transfer of the Gateway Rehabilitation Project from its previous accommodation in Arran Quay to Manor Street. The move to the new premises will allow Gateway to significantly expand the range of services provided by it.
In addition, Dublin City Council, as owners of the building, is contributing €200,000 for the requisite work to the basement, ground and first floors of the building.
Details of the work to be carried out on the building and the costings involved are set out in the attached schedule.
I understand that the refurbishment works are on-going at present.
