Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1710. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the status of the plans for the regeneration of St. Patrick’s Park, Rathangan, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36547/17]
View answerMy Department is providing funding support to Kildare County Council for the remediation works to St. Patrick’s Park, Rathangan. However, the advancement of the works is a matter for the Council itself. The works are being delivered in 3 phases, with Phase 1 partially complete, involving remedial works to 35 homes and a range of other improvements to the area. Phase 2 involves the demolition of 4 homes and construction of 6 new single storey homes, site development works and laneway upgrades, while Phase 3 will see the refurbishment of 19 homes, demolition of 22 others and construction of 10 two storey homes, along with associated site works.
While I understand that this is a complex project, I look forward to it being successfully advanced so that the improved conditions are delivered for the people of the area.
