Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 March 2012
152 Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will approve applications submitted by Cavan County Council in respect of two projects (details supplied) to enable work to be carried out this year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16045/12]
View answerMy Department understands that Cavan Town Council intend to undertake improvement works to the 14 units at Árd na Greine out of funding provided by my Department under the retrofitting/energy enhancement measure of the Social Housing Investment Programme for 2012.
Following receipt of submissions in 2008 under the Remedial Works Scheme for a three-year programme of works to upgrade run-down local authority estates, it was decided not to approve the proposed works to the 44 unit estate at Killymooney Drive, largely due to the fact that the estate was constructed in 1988. All of the available funding under the remedial works measure is fully committed and no further projects can be considered for approval at this time.
