Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

The first scheme of 22 rapid build homes was finished to an extremely high standard of quality and with a superior energy efficiency rating. The final account has been settled by Dublin City Council with the final cost per unit working out at a very competitive €180,000 (excluding VAT).  

For commercial sensitivity reasons, given that tendering processes are on-going and further rapid build projects will be tendered over the coming months, it would not be appropriate to go into further detail in relation to the costs for other projects at this time.
