Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2016
123. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the breakdown of the allocation of the €32 million to the regeneration of Dolphin House and St. Teresa's Gardens in Dublin 8 (details supplied). [20043/16]
View answerThe approved construction budget, which is subject to review, for phase 1 of the Dolphin House regeneration project is currently €19.1m. This is to cover the construction of 37 new units and the refurbishment of 67 units (100 units in total) and the provision of lift blocks. Other community-related costs are considered as required, such as the provision of CCTV facilities to help reduce anti-social behaviour and annual funding for social regeneration measures.
Dublin City Council has not yet submitted detailed costs to my Department for the St Teresa’s Gardens regeneration project but has estimated the construction cost will be some €12.5m, to provide 50 homes (16 apartments and 34 terraced houses). As with the Dolphin House regeneration project, community-related costs are considered as required.
