Louise O'Reilly

Question:

250. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he is aware of the plan to build 24 homes adjacent to Pinewood Estate in Balbriggan; his plans to provide funding to ensure that the access road which must be built, can be facilitated, given unacceptable levels of traffic congestion in the Pinewood Estate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

My Department has not as yet received a formal proposal for the construction of 24 social houses adjacent to Pinewood Estate, Balbriggan. The development of such a proposal, including issues around the housing provision, access, services, etc will, in the first instance, be a matter for Fingal County Council to advance. My Department will work with the local authority on receipt of a proposal in this case.
