Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
552. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of families in Ballymun, Dublin, that are still waiting to be rehoused as part of the regeneration project and the details of when these families will be re-housed. [5113/13]
View answerCurrently, only three of the original 36 flat blocks in Ballymun are occupied by City Council tenants. Around 90 households are accommodated in the two eight storey spine-blocks on Balbutcher Lane. The last remaining 15 storey tower block, Joseph Plunkett Tower, accommodates 62 families at present. All of these families will be re-housed this year in homes currently nearing completion or under construction. It is intended that the 124 new housing units at Sillogue 4 will be allocated to tenants later this month.
